Abstract

Seismic and geological data interpretation is the backbone of petroleum exploration. Seismic interpretation is one of the major tools of Petroleum Geo-scientists. There are a number of software available in the market and the cost of licensing of these software are very high. In some cases, the utility and demand for a few modules in a suite of software is more, rather than the complete suite. In few cases the module will be used for a few days in a year at a given work center, whereas the licenses will remain under utilized in rest of the year. Making such a software tool available to more number of geo-scientists spread over the geographical extent of INDIA in ONGC at an optimum cost is made possible by the implementation of corporate wide licensing of geo-data interpretation software.
