New Product Description

The new product will be very similar to our existing Digital Analog System, which has always been the companies core business. This new 2^nd-tier product will be closely linked with core existing product and will be designed so that the two systems can be run together. The concept is that the 2^nd-tier will eventually contain information on more than 500 fields from around the world. The information will cover the geology, reservoir engineering and production performance of the fields. The information will be gathered by a team of data searchers primarily from published literature, the web, etc. Using our sophisticated search engine customers can search for analog fields or reservoirs that are similar to the ones they operate or are interested in. They can then download individual field reports, or undertake statistical analysis of the analog fields to help them reduce risk in exploration or production operations.
