CHALLENGE ■ Update E&P data-delivery system ■ Improve and streamline database administration ■ Introduce modern data-visualization capabilities SOLUTION ■ Introduce ProSource* Front Office and Studio* E&P knowledge environment to access and organize real-time E&P data RESULTS ■ Easy user access to varied well and seismic data ■ Lease map access from the web ■ 3D data visualization tools for easy browsing “Our new, fully integrated national data center platform designed by Schlumberger has streamlined and reorganized our data delivery processes. ProSource Front Office provides a quick and easy connection to E&P information for our whole department—even the Minister of Oil has direct access to corporate data through the system.” Louis Andzouono SNPC NDC manager The Société Nationale des Pétroles du Congo (SNPC)—the national oil company of the Republic of Congo—needed to integrate over 50 years of exploration, production, and reservoir data into a single platform, accessible to its geoscientists through an easily navigable, web-based front end. It had previously been using an outdated system that presented a number of challenges: suboptimal visualization capabilities for logs, awkward administration and access, and integration and maintenance issues. After meeting with Schlumberger, it became clear that a solution based around ProSource Front Office and the Studio E&P knowledge environment would deliver significant process efficiencies. Integrated delivery The proposed workflow would channel SNPC’s interpretation project data from the Petrel* E&P software platform and the Techlog* wellbore software platform. The Schlumberger team performed initial system checks and ensured that suitable configurations and standards were present before upgrading SNPC hardware to handle the new workflow. Final installation and testing was then undertaken. The Studio environment was installed as the project database for the asset team in charge of interpretations, with ProSource Front Office implemented as the interactive front-end administration system, and used as the corporate database for all the departments of the company.
