Business Level Strategy

The virtual drilling centers are an addition to the company’s cutting edge technology that enhances the drilling by monitoring, analyzing and directing drilling processes around the globe. This has been made possible through the simple act of placing sensors right behind the drill bit. These sensors send signals to a satellite linked to the company’s Drilling Information Management Center located in Houston.
Data and information captured in this manner includes; the depth of the well, the speed of the drill, pressures and temperatures in the well and its environment as well as details on the amounts of soil flowing in and out of the well being drilled. By analyzing this information, geoscientists and well drilling engineers are able to monitor and direct the drilling operations in any of the company’s potential oil wells in the world.
With the state of the art technology such as seismic imaging, geologists and drilling engineers can scan 3D projection of seismic data, with the power and capability of the supercomputers and developments in innovation in parallel processing. This capability is further enhanced with the availability of 3D pointers (devices that enable the manipulation of objects in virtual environments) a new well can be planned at the same time while the effects and changes to the reservoir observed instantaneously.
