HOUSTON,
Texas (November 17, 1997) Interactive Network Technologies, Inc. (INT) is
pleased to announce that the Carnac Java and C++ 2D graphics toolkit has been
selected as the product to support the 2D graphic elements for the OpenSPIRIT
E&P Component Framework.
OpenSPIRIT Component Framework
The OpenSPIRIT Component Framework will provide ‘plug-and-play’ components
for developing new E&P applications. Initially focused at the subsurface interpretation
domain, but planned to later embrace the full E&P lifecycle, this framework
will also support standardized access to data from a variety of popular E&P
data stores, i.e. Landmark, Schlumberger, and POSC. Furthermore, it will support
distributed data access and communication services through OMG/CORBA ORB’s, and
CORBA services.
The OpenSPIRIT Alliance
The
OpenSPIRIT Alliance is a partnership of E&P companies including: Shell
International, Shell Oil Company, Elf Aquitaine, Statoil, Chevron, British Gas,
CGG Petrosystems, Jason Geosystems, and Shared Earth Technologies. The OpenSPIRIT
Alliance has selected Prism Technologies as the development and marketing
partner for the OpenSPIRIT Component Framework.
