GeoGraphix' Wellbase Named Laureate for 2002 Computerworld Honors Collection; PC Software Provides Breakthroughs for Oil and Gas Exploration
Wellbase integrates geophysical, geological, mapping, well and log data all in a common environment. Geologists and geophysicists can simultaneously access information regarding a particular exploration or development project while ensuring that cross-discipline collaboration and correlation are achieved. This unique integration technology allows for more intelligent drilling decisions to be made in a shorter amount of time.
Founded in 1988/89, the Computerworld Honors Program searches for and recognizes individuals who have demonstrated vision and leadership as they strive to use information technology in innovative ways across ten categories: Business and Related Services; Education and Academia; Environment, Energy and Agriculture; Finance, Insurance and Real Estate; Government and Non-Profit Organizations; Manufacturing; Media, Arts and Entertainment; Medicine; Science; and Transportation. Their stories become part of the Computerworld Honors Program's Archives On-Line and the research collections of an elite group of the world's academic and research institutions.
"GeoGraphix' Wellbase solution is an example of our ability to provide the ideal technology solution to meet the E&P technology needs for all of our clients, regardless of the size or scope of their operations," said Andy Lane, president and CEO of Landmark.
