Abstract: Approaches to sharing information about third-party data sets in the context of an application. A computing device may be used to determine the context of an application that is executing on the computing device and searching an index that includes entries representing publisher data sets. The computing device may search the index for entries that are associated with the context of the application. In response to finding such an entry, the computing device displays information about the publisher data set that is associated with the entry.

Abstract: A method for context transfer for data storage is disclosed. The method includes receiving, from an analysis environment, a request to load a data item for analysis, creating, based on the request, a task request including context information of the data item, transmitting the task request to a data manager environment, receiving, from the data manager environment, an approval of the task request based on the context information, and loading the data item in a master data store in response to the approval.

Abstract: A method can include receiving a search criterion; receiving information indicative of a time differential; performing a first search and a second search using the search criterion on a first search index associated with a first time and a second search index associated with a second time where a difference between the first time and the second time approximates the time differential; comparing at least a portion of results of the first search to at least a portion of results of the second search; and rendering at least one search result to a display based at least in part on the comparing.

Abstract: A method for field management includes analyzing exploration and production (E&P) data sets to generate digital fingerprints of the E&P data sets. Each of the digital fingerprints represents a statistical characteristic of an E&P data set. The method further includes augmenting, by a computer processor, data set indices of the E&P data sets based on the digital fingerprints to generate augmented data set indices, retrieving, in response to a user search input and using the augmented data set indices, a selected E&P data set from the E&P data sets, and presenting the selected E&P data set.

Abstract: A method can include receiving search results for a search of data based on search criteria; structuring the search results in a hierarchical tree structure defined by at least one structuring criterion; rendering a graphical control to a display that comprises a graphic of at least a portion of the hierarchical tree structure; and navigating the search results by interacting with the graphical control. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method can include transmitting a call to a GIS; receiving a response; transmitting search criteria to a search engine based on the response; and receiving search results. A method can include orienting a plane in a view; constructing rays from the plane to a surface in the view; determining a 2D extent based on intersection points of the rays and the surface; transmitting the 2D extent; and responsive thereto, receiving information. A method can include receiving image data for a 2D extent; defining a 2D grid for the 2D extent; generating a texture by assigning the image data to the 2D grid; generating a 3D grid by sampling elevations of a surface and assigning them to the 2D grid; applying the texture to the 3D grid; and rendering the 3D grid with the applied texture. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for contacting people involves identifying, prior to an exploration and production (E&P) tool session, a first person accessing a first portion of the historic information in a subterranean formation field data set, adding, prior to the E&P tool session, the first person to a people-in-context list by at least storing an identifier of the first person with a reference to the first portion of the historic information, presenting, during the E&P tool session to a user controlling the E&P tool session, a selection menu based on the people-in-context list, receiving, during the E&P tool session, a first selection from the user, wherein the first selection identifies the first person from the selection menu, and establishing, in response to the first selection from the user, a first communication session between the user and the first person in the people-in-context list.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and system for accessing database attributes stored in a first database are disclosed. The database attributes may be stored in a proprietary manner. The invention includes a data access layer having a second database, which maps visible attributes to the database attributes. The second database includes one or more artificial attributes, stored in meta data. The invention also includes an attribute pre-processing module for scanning a user request to see if the request includes the artificial attribute. The attribute pre-processing module creates an artificial attribute post processor, which can build a real attribute from a combination of the artificial attribute received from the attribute pre-processing module and a visible attribute received from the first database via the data access layer.

Abstract: A paleogeographic search system is provided for locating geoscience data relevant to a geographic search aperture. The paleogeographic search system comprises a geodatabase, an interface, a paleogeographic reconstruction engine, and a host processor. The paleogeographic engine is configured to transform the geographic search aperture according to tectonic plate movements to a transformed search aperture that the geographic search aperture occupied in a geological age of interest. The host processor is configured to apply a paleoaugmented geographic search aperture to a geodatabase for additional oil exploration data relevant to the geographic search aperture today.

Abstract: The method for providing a data context service involves extracting context information from a host application associated with an oilfield project, the context information includes a current state of a user in the host application, sorting the context information into multiple dimensions of relevance, generating a search profile for each of the multiple dimensions of relevance, requesting a first set of searches using at least the search profile, receiving oilfield data items resulting from the first set of searches, obtaining a quality measure of an oilfield data item of the oilfield data items based on a pre-determined quality criterion, sending the oilfield data item as a search result to the host application after determining the quality measure exceeds a pre-determined threshold, and generating an output using the host application based on the search result, the output being used to perform an oilfield operation.
