Posted: 19 December 2003
Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Awards 10 year
contract
Landmark Graphics Corporation, a wholly owned business unit of
Halliburton, announced that its representative company in Jakarta,
PT Landmark Concurrent Solusi Indonesia, has signed a 10-year business
partner contract with the Agency for Research and Development in
the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of
Indonesia.
The agreement will culminate in the opening and ongoing operation
of Indonesia's National Data Centre (NDC) for petroleum, energy
and minerals data in 2004. In the first phase Landmark will, in
conjunction with the Agency, design and complete the preparations
for the establishment of the NDC. PetroBank(TM) technology will
form the foundation of the data management solution and is a key
part of the operational infrastructure to be delivered and managed
by Landmark.
The international operating expertise and experience gained in
the national data bank operations in Norway, Brazil, Pakistan and
the UK, will shape the ongoing performance of Landmark's operational
team that will work alongside the Agency during the term of the
agreement.
"Indonesia's diverse energy and mining challenges demand flexible
and secure management of data assets," said Andy Lane, president,
Landmark. "The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources decision
to leverage Landmark's data management solutions and operational
experience is an indication of the confidence that they have in
Landmark as a services provider and in the direction that we are
taking the PetroBank data hosting and management services."
"The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, having long
recognised that data and information relating to the energy and
mineral resources of Indonesia are a vital resource for the country,
has developed the grand integrated management strategy for the energy
and mineral resources data, which grants efficiency, quick retrieval,
accuracy, integrity, security and confidentiality, by establishing
a professional National Data Centre (NDC). We believe a National
Data Centre will help Indonesia attract more investors to develop
the energy and mineral resources sector in this country," said
Mr. Simon Sembiring, Head of R & D Agency for Energy and Mineral
Resources.
"We are pleased that Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources has selected Landmark's PetroBank services to establish
its National Data Centre operation," said Murray Roth, executive
vice president, Marketing and Systems, Landmark. "The deployment
and use of PetroBank will provide an opportunity for oil and gas,
and mining specialists in Indonesia to fully leverage the value
of information through the implementation of Landmark's best-in-class
approach to data management services and technology."
