Landmark’s OpenJournal (October 1998)

Developed in conjunction with Badley EarthSciences – best known for its Fault Analysis (FAPS) software – Landmark’sOpen Journal is an interactive project and workflow documentation application.

Designed to allow geoscientists and engineers to share best practices and document their thought processes, OpenJournal documents decision-making steps in an E&P interpretation through the use of visual screen images and text. OpenJournal documentation is converted on the fly to HTML-linked web pages, allowing for corporate-wide deployment. The product allows an interpreter on a UNIX workstation to annotate an aspect of an interpretation, perhaps highlighting a particular uncertainty. This information can then be accessed in the field or at another geographical location over the net. All types of E&P documentation can be delivered using OpenJournal which is available either stand-alone or as part of a project using OpenWorks or OpenExplorer. More from www.lgc.com.
