As a result of the agreement, Seismic Micro-Technology (SMT) will offer a complete solution for the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) including training 200 geoscientists on both interpretation best practices and Kingdom software in six Indian cities.
The flexibility of the Windows-based Kingdom will enable those geoscientists working in remote offices to manage advanced interpretations using Windows workstations, or even from their laptops. SMT will offer a total solution to ONGC, which will also include mentoring and services.
Dinesh Pande, ONGC’s director of exploration, said: ONGC decided to purchase SMT’s Kingdom software not only because it is easy to use, but also because of its ability to co-exist with the legacy software we are currently using. This agreement will provide high-end geoscience to our highly distributed interpreters, while still providing the portability of Windows-based computing.
Arshad Matin, President and CEO of SMT, said: SMT is very pleased to expand our strategic relationship with ONGC. ONGC’s decision to commit to a multi-year agreement for SMT software and services demonstrates that kingdom is an excellent fit for large, international National Oil Companies.
