Seabed for MMS (November 2004)

Seabed for MMS (November 2004)

The US Minerals Management Service’s Outer Continental Shelf Connect e-business project is to leverage Schlumberger’s new Seabed data model.

Schlumberger Information Solutions’ Seabed data model for the upstream (first revealed in last month’s Oil IT Journal) is to be deployed in the US Minerals Management Service’s (MMS) Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Connect e-business project.

Price

Speaking at the 2004 Petrotechnical Open Standards Consortium meet, OCS Connect project manager John Price said, ‘The Project includes replacement of legacy information management tools with state-of-the-art commercial products. Benefits include faster processing, improved sharing capabilities and secure Web access.’

Ostdahl

SIS president Kjell-Erik Ostdahl added, ‘The MMS has a great responsibility to the public, government and the industry and we are pleased to provide the information management technology to enable this e-government transformation.’

Proprietary

Despite the POSC venue, the Seabed data model is a move away from ‘standards-based’ data models such as Schlumberger’s Finder production extensions—to a ‘performant, fit for purpose’ proprietary model leveraging Oracle extensions and a more pragmatic data modeling approach.
