Correction
Following our article on the award of Diskos to CGG/Kadme last month, Landmark’s Dale Blue writes,
‘The statement ‘The new PetroBank will combine Kadme’s Whereoil platform and CGG’s Trango seismic data management’ is incorrect. PetroBank remains a Landmark solution and we have no plans to integrate Whereoil or Trango into PetroBank!’
Our apologies for conflating PetroBank Landmark’s product and Diskos the Norwegian data store.
