Unstable oil prices and a global economic downturn place exploration and production (E&P) asset teams under pressure to more precisely characterize prospects and existing dormant assets. At the same time, data managers look to stretch shrinking information technology budgets. These challenges are particularly acute for development of unconventional resources, which entail large risks and require specialized engineering and seismic interpretation techniques. By optimizing information resources, E&P managers can improve decision-making, and companies can begin extracting more efficiently.
IHS offers a fully integrated E&P software solution. The integrated workflow operates in a Windows® environment, enhancing interpreter productivity and enabling analysis by a wide range of project participants—anytime and anywhere. In this way, IHS offers advanced science that is easy to use while pioneering advanced techniques for unconventional-resource interpretation, such as prestack/AVO and microseismic analyses.
NetApp® data management and storage solutions complement IHS’s solutions by providing an infrastructure that consolidates data across the enterprise and facilitates collaboration. At the same time, NetApp’s solutions improve storage efficiency, enable efficient data backup and recovery anywhere, and enhance performance in a scalable platform.
