Oil Patch Bits: Schlumberger releases latest version of software

Schlumberger said May 16 that it announced at the Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts Annual Symposium the release of Techlog 2011 software, which delivers a next generation application interface and expansion of customization capabilities.

“This latest release of Techlog enables customization at several levels of granularity — from the corporate perspective, within a project, and for the petrophysicist, geoscientist or engineer,” said Stephanie Gottlib-Zeh, vice president, Geoscience and Drilling, Schlumberger Information Solutions. “This ensures consistency and auditability, while still supporting productivity and personalized workflows for individual users.”

The 2011 release delivers a complete modernization of the application interface. The new ribbon interface combines highly intuitive icons with complete customization capability — to bring clarity and knowledge sharing directly into the application. A key innovation in usability, the convenient dashboard mode supports automatic window tiling to maximize the workspace and reduce mouse movements. Furthermore, an intelligent right-mouse-click in context brings frequently used tools and actions directly to the users’ fingertips. All of these new developments ensure a significant increase in productivity.
