The contract was awarded following a successful pilot project, conducted and evaluated in late 1998. "We have thoroughly evaluated the Kelman solution in addressing our on-line data management and retrieval requirements for our seismic data," said Jeff Allison, Geophysical Operations Supervisor at Fletcher Challenge Energy Canada. "We have been extremely impressed with Kelman’s professional services and attention to detail. It is obvious that this solution has been engineered end to end," he said.
