IDS, Samit Unveil Centralizing Data System in India
IDS has signed a collaborative arrangement with Samit Enterprises to take DataNet2 to the Indian market. Samit has great experience in introducing reporting and analysis services to the upstream industry in India, having previously worked with Landmark’s flagship product, Open Wells. The company has decided, however, that the IDS business model provides the best opportunities both for Samit and for those clients across India who are ready to move away from the traditional license-per-seat arrangement and experience the advantages of the unlimited-usage, Web-delivery model offered by IDS.
DataNet2 from IDS is a suite of powerful reporting tools, based on the concept of centralizing data from drilling, geology and completions reports to be acquired, shared, viewed and delivered across the Web or via the client’s network. The system is WITSML-compliant and will become a key enabler for India’s intelligent oilfield.
Douwe Franssens, General Manager of the IDS Group, said: “We believe that DataNet2 will act as a real advance to the Indian market. For over a decade, IDS has used its expertise to make upstream reporting and analysis simple and cost-effective. We are delighted that DataNet2 will now be available across India, with the level of support that our customers expect.”
Sanjeev Mittal, Managing Director at Samit, said: “The depth of functionality of IDS’s DataNet2, combined with its delivery via the Internet, provides tremendous value to its clients in the upstream hydrocarbon industry. We are pleased to be partnering with IDS to bring this service to our clients in India.”
Hadaway Engineering Selects WellEz
WellEz Information Management, a Web-based oilfield reporting service, announced that petroleum engineering consulting firm Hadaway Engineering has selected the WellEz.NET reporting solution for daily field operations reporting to their clients. Hadaway selected WellEz.NET for its robustness, reliability and ease of use.
“Most of our clients are independent oil and gas operators, and the WellEz system makes the distribution of reports to the many working interest partners much more efficient,” said Allen Hadaway, President and Founder of Hadaway Engineering.
Hadaway’s worldwide clients often require daily status reports, but those clients vary in the level of detail needed in their reports. Customizing the reporting system to support Hadaway’s existing MS Excel reports and allow future development of new reports and report changes were required features for the new system. The cost of using the system also had to fit the range of their clients’ reporting needs. In addition, support needed to be available to Hadaway Engineering consultants and partners whenever and wherever it may be needed.
“We have known and worked with Hadaway Engineering for some time,” said Charles Jeffery, President of WellEz. “Operators in Western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle are familiar with their firm. Hadaway Engineering is well established and has deep project experience in many geographies and technical environments. Their projects range from initial project planning and design, to all phases of field implementation, including plugging and abandonment. WellEz.NET provides Hadaway with additional value-adding reporting services to their clients. Our ability to customize reports was an important factor for Hadaway as their clients’ needs vary. We were able to quickly implement their existing MS Excel reports and allow for future development of new reports and report changes.”

WellEz Announces Streamlined Reporting Service
Houston-based WellEz Information Management LLC has launched a new service level for WellEz.NET that offers all of the rich data management and reporting capabilities, but with a standard set of pre-configured reports. This new service has been designed for those operators that do not require their field reports to be customized and desire a streamlined implementation in less than two days. WellEz.NET is based on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), so clients only pay for the time they use the service, which eliminates the cost of installation and maintenance of expensive software.
“Many operators have a strong feeling about the exact report forms they use, while other operators do not have the same requirements,” said Charles Jeffery, WellEz President and CEO. “We are glad to accommodate both types. WellEz.NET provides customizable data collection forms and reports, where reports in our new service are based on a uniform configuration. Having served the field reporting needs of many E&P companies, we are confident that the preconfigured reports now available with this new service level will meet the reporting requirements of operators desiring a streamlined implementation.”
