Landmark Announces Multiyear Agreement With Badley Earth Science; Easy-to-Use Web-Based Tools Enable E&P Asset Teams to Better Capture and Share Knowledge
OpenJournal has become the solution of choice for many major oil and gas companies as well as independents seeking to improve knowledge capture and sharing among their E&P asset teams. The solution documents crucial decision-making steps in an E&P project with a combination of graphical screen captures with associated text and annotation. Through publishing in a Web format, critical expertise can be rapidly distributed and mined across the enterprise as part of a corporate intranet or shared with partners and external experts via a secure extranet.
"OpenJournal enables high-performance business units to effectively leverage expertise and enhance group productivity and team collaboration. Easy sharing via the Web builds increased understanding and confidence in E&P analysis and decision processes throughout an enterprise," said John Gibson, Landmark's president and CEO. "When used with OpenWorks(R) and our recently developed Web OpenWorks, clients have a streamlined workflow of capturing, preserving and sharing knowledge."
Workflows, project reports, personal notebooks and presentations from seismic processing to simulation, drilling information and business analysis can all be included in OpenJournal project Web folders. OpenJournal allows geoscientists, petrophysicists, drillers, engineers and others to develop and share best practices that reduce cycle time, increase confidence in their interpretations, thus building consensus and improving decision-making.
OpenJournal2 was released earlier this year with substantial improvements and offering integration with Petroleum Place Connect. When used with OpenWorks and Web OpenWorks (wOW), OpenJournal2 is a powerful knowledge-sharing tool, capable of multi-user editing, free text search and project management. An upgrade is planned for early 2002, with improved formatting, exporting and integration with documenting tools in Web OpenWorks.
