Abstract

ONGC has devoted considerable resources in terms of man power, capital and equipment over more than four decades to acquire very large volumes of seismic data. Seismic data management involves hardware, software and expertise to achieve automatic and fast data access. The volume of data does not permit online storage on disk while offline storage in tape libraries no more meets the requirements. Through Exploration and Production Information Network (EPINET), robotic libraries are planned to be acquired for near line storage. Automatic data management will enable the explorationist to view, access, reformat and use seismic data any time from any where in a seamless manner with the use of LAN, WAN and web based technologies.
