Editor's Corner -- Another month has passed and the year draws closer to an end. Petris has got a busy international trade show schedule this Fall so keep an eye out for us - we've got a great new booth game with even better prizes.
This is the seventh edition of PetrisNEWS for 2008; as always, please continue to let us know your thoughts and comments.
Petris announces the release of PetrisWINDS iShare, its new and improved collaboration software solution aimed at energy teams that need to share information securely. Based on Microsoft's powerful SharePoint platform, iShare is scalable to multiple companies, multiple users and large datasets. With iShare, teams can manage a broad range of energy-related information assets. Applications of iShare include property asset marketing (online data rooms), due diligence collaboration, post merger data transfer, sharing of project data (joint venture production data for example) - anything where you want users to have easy access to data of all types from one browser based interface. No longer will valuable time be wasted searching for information embedded in hard-to-find emails, attachments, faxes, CDs, memory sticks, hardcopy books or ftp exchanges. These inefficient and random processes for data management can be replaced with iShare, one simple but feature-rich and powerful solution to managing data collections. Decisions can now be made with timely, accurate and up-to- date information.
WITSML has emerged as an industry standard for the exchange of information in the drilling domain. It has enabled efficient and effective introduction of real time data exchanges for monitoring and analyzing real time drilling operations. Bringing these analytics and visualizations to this business area has increased performance, improved economics and enhanced safety. Two of Petris' products were recently recognized as WITSML Certified Products that are producing value for our customers in this area. PetrisWINDS Recall is a WITSML Consumer Client, capable of transmitting and receiving to a WITSML data. Recall receives WITSML data objects such as wells, wellbores, logs & wellogs, mud logs, formation markers and conventional cores and provides rich analytical and graphical displays. PetrisWINDS DrillNET is also a WITSML Consumer Client certified product, capable of both importing and exporting WITSML data objects. These data objects include wells, wellbores, trajectories, targets, cement jobs, tubulars, BHA runs, WB geometries.
