Dec. 18, 1997 TomskNeftegas has awarded GeoQuest an $ 8.4 million contract to deliver data management software and services to optimise the exploration of the company's oil fields.
The two-year contract, funded by the World Bank, calls for GeoQuest to provide data management software, hardware and training to set up two fully-synchronised databases linking the Western Siberia sites of Tomsk and Strezhevoy. A production data management system also will be set up in Strezhevoy to handle data from 16 fields in the area. In addition, GeoQuest Reservoir Technologies will conduct a major field study of the Sovietskoye field.
"Information from the synchronised databases will help TomskNeftegas engineers make day-to-day operating decisions and provide data for the field development plan," said Jorgen Rasmussen, GeoQuest district manager for the CIS and Eastern Europe.
GeoQuest also will provide integrated geological, geophysical, petrophysical and reservoir simulation software; workstations; and
computer systems. Integrated workstation software to be installed are CPS-3(a) mapping and surface modelling system; ECLIPSE(a) reservoir simulation; the GeoFrame(a) Petrophysics reservoir characterisation system; and StratLog(a) geological interpretation software.
TomskNeftegas, the fifth largest vertically integrated oil Company in Russia, is a subsidiary of Eastern Oil Company.
GeoQuest, an operating unit of Schlumberger, is the industry leader in providing integrated software systems, data management solutions, and processing and interpretative services to assist petroleum companies in optimising the value of their oil and gas reservoirs.
