and Larson launch Internet well log viewer
Posted: 2 May 2003
HOUSTON, Texas — Halliburton Energy Services’
Sperry-Sun and Logging & Perforating product service lines,
in conjunction with Larson Software Technology, Inc. (Larson CGM
Software), have announced the global commercialisation of its Hal
Log Viewer service.
The new service provides Halliburton customers with a standard
medium format (CGM: computer graphics metafile) to more effectively
make decisions to maximise their reservoirs.
Halliburton Energy Services is a business unit of Halliburton (NYSE:
HAL).
This new light-weight web-enabled well log viewing tool allows
for a flexible, secure, quick, and easy exchange of complex graphical
information to communicate well activities through data acquired
by Halliburton’s INSITE data logging wireline or logging-while-drilling
systems.
This technology also enables Halliburton to deliver well log data
as well as related drilling information to its customers via intranet/extranet
sites and the Internet.
“This is a plug-and-play environment that uses standard Microsoft®
browser and print drivers, making it cost effective for our clients,”
said Jeff Grable, Integrated Petrophysics manager, Halliburton.
“Utilising TIFF (tag image file format) and CGM image formats
in conjunction with PIP (petroleum industry profile) standards produces
a rich environment and the functionality for easy viewing, printing,
and annotating logs while allowing broader utility.”
The CGM and TIFF file format functionality was implemented to support
Halliburton’s INSITE rig information systems.
“Halliburton sets the standard in the well logging and energy
services industry. With the adoption of this technology, Halliburton
is continuing to provide their customers with innovative solutions,”
said Don Larson, president and chief executive officer, Larson CGM
Software. “We are pleased to have Halliburton join our growing
list of OEM customers who are integrating CGM standards into their
products.”
Larson will also provide Halliburton with web-enabled TIFF technology
to view and print data.
For more than 15 years, Larson Software Technology, Inc., located
in Houston, Texas, USA, has been committed to developing quality
graphics software based on the CGM standard for the petroleum exploration
industry.
Larson is the leading supplier of CGM software products for creating,
viewing, editing, and printing CGM files to more than 300 companies
worldwide.
Now, the need for petroleum exploration companies to globally access
graphical information can be met over the internet or intranets.
Larson’s web-enabled CGM Viewer and other software products
now make it possible for oil and gas companies to create, manage,
organise, and provide web access to vital data for their engineers,
geoscientists, and operational staff.
