Petris Secures Contract with OMV and OMV Petrom to Provide Complete Lifecycle Wellbore Data Management Solutions
Petris to deliver its borehole data management solution to improve exploration, field development, and production business decisions.
HOUSTON, TX, August 1, 2012 - Petris Technology, Inc. (www.Petris.com), a leading supplier of data management and geosciences applications to the global oil and gas industry, announced today that OMV AG and OMV Solutions GmbH (OMV), with OMV PETROM S.A. (OMV Petrom), have selected Petris’ borehole data management solution (BHDM) for their Well Log Management System (WLMS) project.
BHDM provides comprehensive data management solutions for all types of borehole data, including digital well log, petrophysical, core, and geomechanical data. The solution includes strategic consulting to define and develop automated workflows for quality control, data verification, allowing integration, and data distribution with OMV’s various upstream applications.
The technology employed by OMV leverages both PetrisWINDS Recall and PetrisWINDS Enterprise (PWE).Recall provides the broadest range of support for digital well logs, including an automated data quality verification and data publishing workflow. PWE provides a “light interface” web access to wellbore data, as well as a GIS interface for geographic searches, and integration of data from several internal and third-party applications within already existing corporate workflows at OMV.
The solution will be implemented in the OMV and OMV Petrom offices. Access will also be allowed from the full range of OMV remote office locations for a managed, quality-ensured flow of data throughout the organization, while still under the complete control of the data owner.
“After market evaluation, Petris borehole data management solution was chosen as a modern and integrated system which provides all required functionalities to manage borehole related data and support business processes by enhanced workflows,” Peter Berger OMV E&P, Mirela Shoro OMV E&P.
Utilising a web-based ‘drop-box’ wizard, authorised users can deliver validated well data electronically, which is then checked and automatically loaded into a temporary staging area using the Recall Autoloader before being quality controlled using the Recall Automated Verification Engine (RAVEN). Once the data has passed all the checks, email notifications are sent to designated managers for final approval before being published into the Recall Corporate Database. The high-business value curves are then ready for use in OMV and OMV Petrom’s project applications while the original format data (raw data, reports, etc.) are stored in the Recall archive.
PetrisWINDS Recall is a leading data management solution for handling, storing and processing well bore data. PetrisWINDS Enterprise is a web-based and GIS-enabled data integration and interoperability application for E&P companies.
