BG Group unit BG Brazil along with R&D partner, University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) have selected a petrographic knowledge and data management solution from Brazilian software developer Endeeper and microscopy specialist Carl Zeiss. The solution integrates Endeeper’s Petroledge and RockViewer tools with Zeiss’ Axio Imager A2 polarizing microscope, equipped with an AxioCam MRc scientific camera and ZEN Lite software. The system will be used to perform an integrated study of the Santos and Campos Basins.
Petrographic data is managed using the Server version of Petroledge and RockViewer along with the Carl Zeiss hardware. Workstation-generated data is centrally stored. This enables information exchange between researchers, assures data security and accelerates data processing and interpretation.
Endeeper was cited in Oil IT Journal last month as an early adopter of the semantic concepts advocated in a recent publication from IFPen. More from Endeeper, Carl Zeiss and UFRGS.
