Introduction
WOW provides dynamic access to E&P data over the company intranet. The product
addresses one of the biggest challenges facing the E&P business: making information
available to business users in time to facilitate decisions. Because subsurface
professionals spend too much time on non-productive data management tasks, WOW
allows users to quickly find, document, manage and QC vital project data:
• Find data fast: rapid web-based browsing of projects – great for familiarizing users
with a new project area.
• Find data easily: a simple, uniform interface means users don’t need to know all the
underlying applications, databases and systems.
• Capture knowledge: allow users to document projects, providing context to enhance
the content.
• Cleanup project data: a number of functions for managing the underlying data.
WOW is a 'thin client' application, which means that the majority of content is generated
dynamically on the Web server by reading the underlying databases, formatting and then
sending results to the Web browser. This means also that there are no client-side
dependencies, i.e. plug-ins to be downloaded or installed, considerably simplifying
maintenance.
WOW coverage is considerable and is constantly expanding in both depth and breadth:
