PetrisWINDS DrillNET Now Available
New software suite brings power of Maurer drilling technologies to a user-friendly, multi-language interface that increases operational safety and efficiency.
A fully integrated drilling suite, PetrisWINDS DrillNET
was announced at the SPE Annual Conference in San
Antonio, TX. Built on the Maurer drilling software
technologies, DrillNET adds a networking capability
that permits data to be shared, stored and reused
among system users. It supports the 'crew change'
through ease of use (and a shortened learning
curve), plus the ability to use multiple languages
within the same program, letting technical people
work in their language of choice while reports are
generated in another.
