ArcticWeb is an initiative originated as a Joint Industry Project by a consortium of oil companies operating in Norway. The initial stages of the project were financed by Demo2000. A good overview of the project and its status was given by AconaCMG, the company managing the project, in this presentation given at the “Norway-US Arctic Petroleum Technology Workshop” held in Tromsø on 21st Jan 2009.

Kadme’s Whereoil has been selected as the technology that will make this happen. Information is extracted by Whereoil from a vast number of web resources of the organizations (at the moment only Norwegian ones) that are responsible to publish data and information regarding the Arctic areas. Those include the Norwegian Geological Survey, the Meteorological Institute, the NPD and many others. Users in oil companies will be able to use the ArcticWeb portal to search, from one single interface, for all the environmental design basis data they need.
The development of the beta version is under way and it has received good feedback so far from the test users in the steering committee. The release of the beta version is scheduled for April.

An article (in Norwegian) about the ArcticWeb project has been published in Teknisk Ukeblad.

From 8-11 June 2009, Kadme will be present at the 71st EAGE Conference and Exhibition incorporating SPE EUROPEC 2009, taking place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. With about 6,000 expected delegates, a 4 day technical programme and an exhibition of over 8.000 net square meters of participating companies this conference is one of the major conferences in the field of geosciences and reservoir engineering.

Visit us at booth 134 in hall 11 where our staff members will be ready to answer all questions you might have about our products and services. We will be demonstrating our newest version of our flagship product Whereoil and some of its deployment worldwide, including the ArcticWeb portal and the front-end of the National Data Repository of Colombia.

Opening hours of the exhibition:
Monday 8 June        18.15 – 20.00 hrs
Tuesday 9 June        09.00 – 17.30 hrs
Wednesday 10 June    09.00 – 17.30 hrs
Thursday 11 June    09.00 – 17.30 hrs

Bogota’, Colombia, 11th August 2008.

Kadme has signed a contract with the ANH, the Hydrocarbon National Agency of Colombia, for the development of a new front-end for the EPIS data repository.

EPIS is the Colombian Petroleum Data Bank in charge of administrating the technical E&P data of the country, being the unique official repository.
It has more than 1.450.000 units of digital data, plus 820.000 physical units.
It provides storage, custody and data delivery services to geoscientists and potential investors to carry out research and hydrocarbon exploratory investment projects in Colombia.

The data repository was put in place when the national oil company Ecopetrol was in charge of the administration of the oil and gas activities of the country.
The creation of the ANH in 2003 by the Colombian Minister of Mines and Energy initiated a transformation of Colombia into a country more attractive to national and foreign investors in the oil and gas sector. Between 2009 and 2015, Colombia expects to receive more than $16 billion in mining and energy investments, according to finance minister Oscar Zuluaga (http://www.upstreamonline.com/live/article167193.ece). To be able to meet this goal, the EPIS data repository is envisaged to become the primary vehicle for the country to promote exploration opportunities and attracting investments from oil and gas companies.

As part of the contract, Kadme will deploy and customise its WhereOil software to provide a modern, fast and easy-to-use system that will allow current operators and potential new investors to search and order E&P information available in the country. The new system is scheduled to be in production in September-October 2009.

The ECIM 2008 E&P Data and Information Management Conference and User Meeting will be held in Rica Maritim Hotel, starting Monday afternoon 15 September until Wednesday 17 early afternoon. The Conference attracts more than 250 participants, and has emerged to be the most substantial conference in Europe of its kind for all Information Management professionals in the Oil & Gas industry.

Kadme will be part of 3 workshops, where we will present our WhereOil technology and a new web-based GIS application centered around ESRI’s ArcGIS Server.
