PetroTrek // Digital Oilfield Online More Digital Oilfield Solutions

Completely eliminate costly servers and software needed to deploy and operate on-premises solutions. Built on the Microsoft Windows Azure Services cloud computing platform, Digital Oilfield Online delivers all the functionality and capabilities of PetroTrek with the data security you need to work online.

Deployment options to fit your IT Strategy
Faced with mounting IT overhead with diminishing returns? iStore gives you options to cut IT operating costs. In addition to its on-premises deployment, Digital Oilfield solutions are available online through iStore's cloud-based hosting service, eliminating costly hardware and software and giving you a roadmap for doing business in the cloud.

Solutions delivered via iStore's online service make it easier and more cost-effective for your organization to securely manage, access and share the full range of E&P data and documents required for Digital Oilfield projects.  All PetroTrek E&P solutions are available through Digital Oilfield Online, enabling a wide array of data sources  to be accessed and integrated in the cloud, supporting information-centric asset management, KPI dashboards, joint venture collaboration, and production monitoring.

Rich Content and Mashups
iStore's Digital Oilfield Online service features a rich set of data access and visualization components built with Microsoft Silverlight.  The company pioneered Silverlight data visualization in the petroleum industry with the development of interactive charts and viewers for oilfield data,  including the PetroTrek Time Chart which integrates multiple data sets into a single view for easy correlation of time-based events.

In addition to incorporating data visualization and document management into Digital Oilfield Online, iStore will provide a rich set of oilfield content with the inclusion of IHS data.  IHS is the leading provider of quality well and production data for the petroleum industry covering over 3 million wells in the United States.  With the launch of Digital Oilfield Online iStore offers existing IHS data subscribers a whole new way to integrate and mashup IHS data with other company data or documents using Bing maps for enterprise.

Digital Oilfield Online enables petroleum companies to leverage and extend the capabilities of multiple on-premises databases by remotely accessing and integrating data online.  Conversely, the software-plus-services model enables  companies to leverage the new cost structure of cloud-based data storage to manage their data while consuming it with on-premises applications or mobile devices.

Leveraging Open Data Standards
Digital Oilfield Online supports the open standards widely accepted by the industry for storing a complex range of oilfield data types.  The solution leverages the breadth and depth of the Public Petroleum Data Model (PPDM) which provides comprehensive standards for storing data across industry business process and workflow.

Next Generation Data Security
Because technical and financial information is vital to its customers - finding and producing oil not to mention keeping their competitive edge and staying compliant - iStore is committed to delivering the highest levels of security possible in its cloud solutions.  To accommodate each client's security policy with the authentication method they require iStore has incorporated Microsoft Geneva Server into its Azure platform architecture.

iStore's security architecture gives customers a wide variety of authentication methods to choose from.  This includes identity federation across Active Directory domains with single-sign-on, enabling online solutions to be seamlessly and securely accessed from behind the corporate firewall.

To ensure that Digital Oilfield Online meets the rigorous security standards of the petroleum enterprise, iStore has teamed with CSC, a Windows Azure Technology Adoption Program partner.  CSC is a leading systems integrator and innovator of cloud computing technology (visit www.csc.com/cloud for more information).

PetroTrek® aggregates data sources that are geographically distributed or schematically different. PetroTrek visualization tools are built on Microsoft Silverlight and Bing Maps for Enterprise and include the PetroTrek Time Chart™ for easy correlation of multiple time based data sets, decline curves, logs, forecast charts and GIS mashups.

PetroTrek solutions quickly plug-in to your company's SharePoint 2007 sites through a set of Web Parts and Services and are also available on all common Web platforms.
