Midland Valley is working closely with companies which offer complementary software technologies and services to the international E&P industry. Our cooperation with these alliance partners enables improved links between the software packages and data, joint services which make it more efficient for clients to work on large integrated studies, and joint marketing efforts which make it easier for the alliance partners to present these services. Our current alliance partners include:
| Badley Geoscience (www.badleys.com), an industry leader in the commercial application of structural basin analysis, quantitative structural geology and fault-seal analysis with a range of products which span the entire exploration to production workflow. | | IES Integrated Exploration Systems (www.ies.de) is the leading provider of Petroleum Systems Modeling software. IES offer the most complete and technically advanced technology with an extensive range of unique features: the PetroMod® system. | | | | | | | | |
Several clients mentioned that it would be good for us to work alongside each other, while retaining our individual identities and specialist skills, and also for our software tools to provide smooth cross-transfer of relevant information. "We've got the message, and are now acting upon it." MVE's MD Alan Gibbs said "In a market place where our specialist technologies can save companies large sums of money in a small amount of time, it makes sense that we should work alongside each other to the benefit of our customers and ourselves. Collaboration provides our clients with a unique experience and skill resource." There has always been a strong overlap in the client-base for our products, since between them they provide the complete geological toolkit. Increasingly, users are devising new workflows in which the two software suites can be brought to bear on different parts of the same technical problem. In order to aid this style of work, the two companies are designing a transparent datalink between TrapTester and 3DMove. The link will allow TrapTester models to be read into 3DMove for fault restoration, and restored models in 3DMove to be read into TrapTester for seal and geometry analysis. The new links, which should significantly enhance productivity, will be distributed as a maintenance upgrade. By tightening software and workflow links and by sharing messages from our clients within a framework of cooperation, we believe that we can deliver added value. So, if you have any comments or questions about our past, present or future, please contact |
