Teen solves centuries-old math problem
EXETER, England, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- British company Interactive Net Mapping launched a new system for oil and gas companies.
The new service, called Oilelefant, allows companies to view their wells, seismic surveys and related information online without spending as much money on a geographic information system.
Customers will pay from $26,000 for between one and four users, to $63,000 for 25 to 34 users, for the license fee and rights to the map and database software.
The system is used by exploration and production company GB Petroleum, which has been using the software to manage data about license blocks purchased, seismic surveys completed and wells drilled for its operations in Europe and North Africa.
GB Petroleum says it was able to reduce the amount of hardcopy information it needed to store because of the Oilelefant system.
The software takes input data from various formats and transfers them to a geographical projection in WGS-84 standard. It uses a map of the world with water depths and mountain heights, and limited civil infrastructure, such as roads, railways and cities. Oil companies can find out about nearby relevant civil infrastructure, such as storage terminals, refineries and ports and connect their documents to the map.
