The Challenge

As the petroleum industry continues to expand from a paper to a digital world, companies find themselves grappling with how best to manage their two greatest assets - people and data - in the face of demands for both positive, short-term cash flow and long-term return on investment. Inherent to this issue is a range of information managment questions, such as how to:

• Capture a company wide data usage profile,

• Establish standards and procedures for data management,

• Locate and catalog all E&P data,

• Incorporate industry standards in a dynamic, digital data model,

• Enable personal as well as team growth and collaboration,

• Facilitate & support multidisciplinary teams,

• Create a geoscience database that is well-integrated & user-friendly,

• Improve communication between information technologists and end users,

• Align and organization for transition to new technologies, or efficient technology transfer, and

• Achieve maximum return on dollars spent on outsourcing for information management solutions

A Technology Foundation

HMC's information management consulting services are supported by the HyperEdge Tools, a hypermedia software family that provides an intelligent way to capture and use all of your data asset. HyperEdge software places much more than mere data presentation tools in the hands of a user. Rather, through an easy-to-use graphical interface, HyperEdge technology empowers users to view and interrelate and data within its grasp, and to record project steps taken, interpretation decisions made, and more. It is a logical, key component to any complex, graphics-based data environment.

The HyperEdge family is based on the oil and gas industry's first UNIX-based hypermedia software, which was developed at Landmark Graphics Corporation (LGC).
