Flare's E&P Catalog™
The E&P Catalog™ is designed to support the way information is really used in an E&P organization, based on a business model that is the result of hundreds of person-years E&P experience and an ontology that embodies thousands of business relationships. It provides an automated, intelligent environment in which users can easily publish and retrieve information quickly, accurately and consistently.
Single Point of Access
Provides a single consistent interface to all key E&P information regardless of the underlying source or type of information The E&P Catalog links with existing systems such as EDMSs, databases, library tools and physical stores, augmenting their functionality and increasing the visibility and value of the stored information
Intuitive Interface
Allows users to make plain-language, contextual searches rather than using the specialized terminology required to access the underlying sources, thereby opening them up to a wider E&P community
Enhanced Publishing
Facilitates the publishing of information items together with the essential metadata needed to ensure they can be correctly identified and easily retrieved in future linked Information
The E&P Catalog incorporates a model that ‘understands’ the E&P business (the ‘ontology’). This is what adds metadata on publishing and allows identification of related information found in searches
As E&P companies and service organisations adapt to the emerging information-centric business environment, it is increasingly essential to optimise the way that intellectual capital is managed. The E&P Catalog™ provides organisations with a unique, effective way to develop, preserve and exploit these critical business assets.
