The company provides a full range of oil and gas services, including seismic surveys, drilling, wire line logging, well construction and completion, and project management. It also provides reservoir evaluation, reservoir development and reservoir management services. It is working towards developing new technologies for reservoir optimization.
Business Need
The client wanted to integrate existing products on Seismic Data Management and cover them all through one single product. Further, this product would need to fall in line with the client’s vision of providing a uniform suite of solutions and would be based on the new technologies and frameworks adopted to achieve this vision.
Challenges
The main challenge was to combine latest technologies and identify frameworks. A wide range of technologies and products had to be integrated.
