Business issue
Desire to access, evaluate and integrate NZ Ministry of Economic Development Petroleum Reports and other data with Swift’s extensive database and other software.
Application
Trapeze is used to view and organise data for oil exploration and development, and to create and integrate well completion reports and data for submittal to the NZ Ministry of Economic Development (MED).
 Solution
Use Onstream Systems’ Trapeze Desktop™ software to:
- Access NZ Ministry of Economic Development Crown Minerals Petroleum Reports in multi-page Tiff and other formats.
- Read, manipulate, resize, print and create reports for large format documents and complex graphics. e.g. well logs (some may be 10m+ long), seismic displays and maps.
- With Trapeze, SENZ can handle detailed graphic displays of core samples, subsurface cross-sections, maps, reports and other documents.
- Compare geological and geophysical information and print the map/logs, allowing visual comparisons to be made with other data.
- Trapeze image printing technology allows the printing of maps to scale on a wide variety of printers.
Benefits
SENZ makes extensive use of the Trapeze measurement tool for on-screen calculation of areas and distances on maps; and for report creation in its Wellington and New Plymouth offices. The company has used Trapeze software for 2 years.
Company users are excited about these new Trapeze features:
- Virtual Light Table - superimpose depth structure maps and/or isopach maps at different levels or compare with seismic time structure maps. Compare logs from adjacent wells. The Trapeze Virtual Light Table enables users to rotate and stretch one plan or map over another, e.g. view plans on aerial photos, analyse geological maps over topographic maps or satellite images, etc.
- Text searching using OCR.
- Interaction, for correspondence management, with Microsoft Office - cut and paste images or actual text from scanned documents to Microsoft Word and other presentation software.
- PDF support
Customer's comments
Jenny Loake, a Wellington-based geotechnical assistant with SENZ, has been working with Trapeze for 2 years. She says:
“It was very easy to install. We just downloaded it from the Web and bought the licenses.
We didn’t need any training. It was all very second nature for us.
The support has been excellent.”
