  • Publication number: 20090254325
    Abstract: A data management toolkit for acquiring measurement data regarding hydrocarbon wells and reservoirs, from a database, and processing that data for application to a reservoir model. The data management toolkit is implemented as a web-based application, accessible from remote workstations. The reservoir engineer configures the data management toolkit to acquire measurement data and previously calculated parameter values over a date range, for one or more wells, and also specifies various processing options including filtering, averaging, and the like. Events, such as RFT tests and pressure build-up analyses, may also be included. The web-based data management toolkit is executed on a web server to acquire and process that data, and to then update model files accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20060168356
    Abstract: A method and system for compressing bitmap data in a system for sharing an application running on a host computer with a remote computer, wherein the shared application's screen output is simultaneously displayed on both computers. Simultaneous display of screen output is achieved by efficiently transmitting display data between the host computer and the remote computer. When a font used by the host computer for displaying text is not available on the remote computer, the host computer sends a bitmap representation of the text for display, rather than the text itself. Bitmap representations are cached by the remote computer, so that the same bitmap representation need not be repeatedly transmitted from the host computer to the remote computer. Bitmap representations are compressed by the host computer prior to transmission, transmitted, then decompressed by the computer.
