Objectivity/DB: Enabling Real Time Data Processing from Discovery to Delivery
Business Rationale
Objectivity/DB is an ideal fit for exploration systems that rely on collecting massive amounts of disparate data in multiple formats (including GPS, acoustic, compass and other sensor data) and using this information for predictive analysis. With Objectivity/DB embedded in an exploration application, analysts can see data as it is collected in real time and determine the size and potential value of a payload before drilling begins. These abilities can significantly reduce the amount of time and resources wasted on mining sites that don't have a strong yield potential.
Objectivity in Upstream Operations
Objectivity/DB is an ideal fit for exploration systems that rely on collecting massive amounts of disparate data in multiple formats (including GPS, acoustic, compass and other sensor data) and using the information for predictive analysis. With Objectivity/DB embedded in an exploration application, analysts can see data as it is collected in real time and determine the size and potential value of a payload before drilling begins.
Objectivity/DB in Downstream Solutions
Objectivity/DB not only makes exploration activities more efficient and cost-effective, but it is also an ideal fit for streamlining supply chain management and refining processes. Objectivity/DB can store information from all data points along the supply chain, from production to delivery to the pump, and allow the information to be displayed to multiple parties in a single logical view. With better information sharing and collaboration between points on the supply chain, analysts, operators, and managers can optimize their communication and get product where it needs to be, when it needs to be there.
Spotlight on: Fugro Jason
Analysis that once took days now takes minutes.
Prior to selection of Objectivity/DB, Fugro Jason, a company that helps customers in the oil and gas industries improve their reservoir production capabilities, was struggling to interpret huge amounts of data collected from disparate sources across their Geology, Geophysics, Petrophysics and Modeling applications.
Using Objectivity's embedded data management technology, the company created an application that seamlessly integrates data from a variety of disparate E&P applications into a single common data model. When the product is released to Fugro Jason customers in late 2008, the technology will make data interpretations faster than ever, enabling customers to maximize their development of hydrocarbon deposits. Analysis that once took days will instead take minutes, saving Fugro Jason and its' customers time and money while dramatically improving system performance.
