LANDMARK GRAPHICS INTRODUCES DRILLING DESKTOP
- New drilling and engineering integration platform optimizes planning, operations and design processes -
DENVER, Colorado and HOUSTON, Texas - Landmark Graphics Corporation, a wholly owned business unit of Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), announced today the release of Drilling Desktop™, a new integrated platform for well planning and drilling operations. Drilling Desktop provides a comprehensive suite of drilling tools for well planning and design, real-time data access and 3D visualization in a shared data management environment.
The platform was developed to support optimized drilling engineering workflows to reduce cycle-time, increase data integrity and provide better-engineered wellbores. Drilling Desktop is one component of the Engineers Desktop™, a common project management system that combines drilling/production data and analytical tools. The full offering will be available in December 2003.
"The complexity and cost of today's wells require accurate planning and real-time decision-making. Our focus is to provide our customers with the tools they need to manage the industry challenges of long-reach horizontal wells, deep-water drilling and small reservoirs," said Andy Lane, president and CEO, Landmark Graphics. "Landmark has always been and continues to be committed to developing solutions such as Drilling Desktop, which will enable operators to drill safer and more effective wellbores."
As part of Landmark's vision to integrate key E&P work processes, Drilling Desktop provides links to other leading Landmark technologies and provides a more complete solution than previously possible. Drilling Desktop was designed to support well planning, drill string analysis and casing run analysis workflows. Drilling engineers will now have the level of integration that, until now, has only been available to geoscientists.
"Drilling Desktop provides an exceptional level of integration to the E&P industry," said Murray Roth, executive vice president of Landmark's Marketing and Systems Group. "This new solution provides our customers with the industry's first integration platform between their engineering software and their drilling operations. The integration capabilities this release provides will help them design wells more efficiently while ultimately increasing production and reducing costs."
