Previous HitComputerNext Hit Applications in an Oil-Exploration Company

D. L. Stauft

ABSTRACT

Although several highly sophisticated Previous HitcomputerNext Hit applications have been described in the geological literature, practising explorationists at the operating levels are somewhat slow to accept these methods as day-to-day tools. Imperial Oil Limited has introduced the Previous HitcomputerNext Hit to its operations explorationists by providing retrievals and search-narrowing techniques for use with its computerized banks of basic geological and engineering data. Imperial's explorationists have thus become aware that "Previous HitcomputerNext Hit techniques," without necessarily revolutionizing their approach to geology, can save them considerable time in searching for and gathering data from day to day. They now use in their operations such facilities as listings of cores or tests by formation; structure and isopach listings; map-plotting and contouring; show-map construction; basic cross-sectioning; and trend analysis. Without this introductory phase of simple applications, it is doubtful that they would even yet have accepted the Previous HitcomputerTop as a useful tool.
