Collection of data
DrillEdge software is aptly suited to oil industry applications. Exploration, drilling and production activities are inherently data-intensive; and the industry has equipped itself with powerful data communication and storage systems to cope with it. Standard drilling and geotechnical software tools and protocols such as WITSML (Wellsite Information Transfer Standard Markup Language) are coming into wide adoption to make data acquisition, integration and storage seamless.
