VADODARA, NOV 28: A six-day training programme entitled 8220;Relevance of Laboratory Studies in Geological Modelling and Field Geology8221; was organised by the Institute of Management Development, ONGC, Dehradun, at Jodhpur and Jaisalmer in two phases. The first phase involved creating awareness in ONGC professionals about the state-of-the-art Research and Development sector.
The second phase was devoted to practical aspect of geological studies right in the field of Jaisalmer basin. This course, devised by Dr. N.P. Singh, General Manager Geology, Western Region and his team consisting of Druvendra Singh, Suptdg. Geologist; D K Bharktya, Suptdg. Geologist and Shekhar Srivastava, Suptdg. Geologist, outlines the approach in synthesis and interaction of laboratory investigations and field records for an effective and meaningful exploration model for minimising the risk of exploration. This course is a milestone in systematic search of habitat of hydrocarbon in space and time for launching the hydrocarbon venturein any area and exploration from known area.
During the inaugural session of the course, Anita Takru Rathor, General Manager Rajasthan Project and Suman Singh, Chief Manager Reservoir also emphasised significance of this course in vie of in-depth exploration requirement in the country.
Epinet Project marches ahead in ONGC, Baroda: Migration of log data committed under Phase-I of the EPINET Project has been successfully completed with active involvement of Schlumberger team. EPINET group of WRBC-Baroda. The occasion was graced by Daljit Singh, GGM E and Basin Manager, Baroda, Heads of RGL, Geophysical Services and Logging services. A demo of the log data stored was given by Schlumberger team.
EPINET project has been envisaged to provide a single data model for the whole of ONGC to provide industry-wide sharing of exponentially increasing volume of data. It will facilitate proper data management practices and enhance management of corporate exploration and production data.
The first phase of the project is being implemented by Schlumberger GeoQuest on turnkey basis. It will take up various activities like study of site plans. LANS and WAN architecture, supply of hardware and software, migration of legacy ONGC data to EPINET platform and integration of existing interpretation work stations to the EPINET system.
Well Data, Log Data, Geo Lab Analysis Data, Seismic Data, Reservoir and Production Data are the major E and P data classes to be supported by vendor8217;s solution for migration. In order to complete the project within the scheduled time-frame, various activities are being simultaneously taken up and migration of Log Data which started in WRBC in October using LodDB, was a part of this strategy.
