Abstract: A system for analyzing an oilfield having at least one wellsite, each at least one wellsite having a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation for extracting fluid from an underground reservoir therein, that includes a data collection means for obtaining source data having a plurality of data elements of heterogeneous data types, memory for storing the source data, a functional method configured to perform a function on a dataset of a dataset type to obtain a processed dataset, and a client code configured to process the dataset. The client code includes an object instantiation code configured to use a dataset wrapper class to create the dataset with the dataset type from the source data, and a functional method invocation code configured to call the functional method with the dataset.

Abstract: A Polyline Reduction software adapted to be stored in a workstation or other computer system solves the problem of reducing the number of points in a 2D or 3D polyline, so that it can be rendered more optimally on a computer screen or sent to a printer requiring less memory, by performing the following basic function: let Cj,k be an infinite cone with origin in Pj and a distance from Pk equal to a provided threshold distance; If Pk is inside all of the cones Ci,i+1 . . . Ci,i+2 , , , Ci,k, then points Pi+1 . . . Pi+2 . . . Pk?1 can be removed.
