After announcement nearly two years back Schlumberger DELFI platform now is live and provides access to its industry leading softwares and workflows to industry through cloud based infrastructure.
However, their licensing model still not automatic. One still have to request for licenses. Their bundling plan to extract more $ from customer is another issue that will be a hindrance for cost sensitive service providers like my company ShilazTech.
They have bundled like following:
DrillPlan
Geophysicist
Geophysicist Plus
Geologist
Geologist Plus
Project Data Manager
Reservoir Engineer
Reservoir Engineer Plus
Petrophysicist
Petrophysicist Plus
Exploration Portfolio
Unconventional
Geothermal and Mining Engineer
Developer
Quantitative Interpretation
Nuclear Forward Modeling
Techlog Tool Lock
Drilling Interpretation
Drilling Operations Efficiency
Geoscience Engine Access
Petroleum Engineering Engine Access
IT Administrator
GeoX Administrator
Kinetix Shale
MultiClient
INTERSECT
OLGA
What they should have allowed is automatic licensing and let the user decide which modules it wants to use. That would have helped consulting firms like ShilazTech to reduce the cost of their offering to its customers.
More update when we directly use their services.
