Schlumberger Information Solutions’ Seabed data model for the upstream (first revealed in last month’s Oil IT Journal) is to be deployed in the US Minerals Management Service’s (MMS) Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Connect e-business project.
Price
Speaking at the 2004 Petrotechnical Open Standards Consortium meet, OCS Connect project manager John Price said, ‘The Project includes replacement of legacy information management tools with state-of-the-art commercial products.
