New mobile versions of two proprietary applications—InSite Anywhere mobile service and the eChartBook mobile service—are designed to provide quick, easy, and secure access to real time drilling data and logging calculators on smart-phone devices including iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry.
With well data stored in the secure InSite database and distributed through the InSite Anywhere interface, users can collaborate with their teams in real time wherever they are and proactively manage wellsite situations as they arise. Access via smart-phone devices enables information to flow seamlessly to the right people in real time, to enhance efficiency, collaboration and decision making, the company points out.
The eChartBook mobile service is an interactive instrument that allows users to access logging calculators for all of this firm's major logging-while-drilling and wireline sensors, such as gamma ray, resistivity, density, and neutron porosity. The application also includes a number of general charts and tools for determining water saturation, borehole salinity, formation dip calculations, and cross-plots, among others. Most charts in this mobile application also incorporate single-point calculators, allowing "what if" calculations to clearly see how formation-evaluation measurements are affected by the logging environment.

Full version of new seismic interpretation softwareThe full version of new OpendTect 4.2 software is available to the industrty.
The new version can be downloaded at www.opendtect.org and follows the launch of a beta version earlier this year.
The company has teamed up with Tokyo-based Wacom Co. Ltd., a manufacturer of interactive pen displays and digital interface solutions, to enable seismic interpreters to use the new software in an interactive and graphics-focused environment where they can interact directly with the tablet.
OpendTect 4.2 comes with new HorizonCube and Well Correlation plug-ins, as well as new interpretation, editing, and visualization features. It includes an increase in the number and density of mapped horizons through the HorizonCube plug-in, resulting in low frequency model building with a greater number of horizons and more accurate inversion results, geologically sound rock-property predictions, a realistic geologic history and well correlations, and more geological information from seismic than ever before, the company notes.
