Regional operations to improve the performance of assets,
asset teams and E&P portfolios
Landmark Graphics Corporation, a wholly owned business unit of
Halliburton, announced today the opening of the first Asset Development
Centre in Europe within its newly refurbished Aberdeen office.
The centre will enable oil & gas asset teams to access Landmark's
leading innovative technology in a fully optimised collaborative
environment including a state-of-the-art visualisation room featuring
a 24-foot diameter, 160 spherical screen with three-channel
projection, supporting full active stereo for highly immersive visualisation.
The centre supports numerous computing hardware platforms and software
applications, including the PetroBank multi-client data
bank, and maintains fully operational training and project workrooms.
The facilities are supported by IT, data and application experts,
and Landmark's Asset Performance Consulting group (APC™),
to ensure clients can focus on core value added decision making
workflows.
"Landmark is delivering enhanced value to our clients in the
North Sea through innovative technology," said Andy Lane, President
and CEO of Landmark. "The visualisation centre offers clients
the opportunity to better integrate people, processes and technology
that dramatically improve the speed and quality of decision-making
needed for prospect generation and real-time reservoir management.
As a result, our customers can optimise asset performance, reduce
cycle time, implement new processes and improve profitability."
"A recent CERA report has confirmed that many companies believe
the business case benefits resulting from visualisation centres
are now well proven," said Jonathan Lewis, Landmark Operations
vice president, Eastern Hemisphere. "The Aberdeen centre will
enable our customers to take advantage of visualisation technology
and effectively compete in today's market by using large-scale visualisation
to find more reserves and plan wells more accurately."
Landmark will also be offering consulting services through its APC

prospect generation, field development planning, well and drilling
