CDA for Schlumberger (December 2005)

LogDB and AssetDB/eSearch are to displace PetroBank/Recall in the UK’s Common Data Access well log and hard copy data repository.

Schlumberger is about to win the UKs prestigious Common Data Access (CDA) well data management contract from incumbent Landmark Graphics. CDA, a wholly owned unit of the UK Offshore Operators Association (UKOOA) issued its tender last August.

Petrobank

Schlumbergers technology will displace Landmarks PetroBank/Recall data management solution  and related services. The tender involves the management of digital well log curves, scanned images of well reports and logs and initially seismic navigational dataalthough this was subsequently excluded from the scope of the tender.

SOA

The tender also calls for a new services-oriented architecture (SOA), decoupling the UKs well data architecture into a data store and internet-facing applications. This month CDA approved the Schlumberger Information Solutions (SIS) as the sole preferred bidder for the Well Data Store contract and is to execute an agreement with SIS in January 2006.

FPAL

The CDA process was managed confidentially by a private UK concern, First Point Assessment (FPAL). Schlumberger will be moving in on CDA when Landmarks contract expires in July 2006.
