Data Management

and Interoperability

The εpos 5-layer model

What is εpos?

• Data Repositories optimized for E&P– Designed for complex structures and large data volumes– Can host data for a large spectrum of applications and disciplines

• A Middleware Framework– Supporting distributed data management– Multi-vendor, multi-data model, multi-platform– Independent of repository architecture (relational, hierarchical, flat)– Simple access using a powerful Application Programming Interface

• Data Management Applications– Administration of projects, repositories, users and groups– Browsing tools for broad, multi-vendor networked repositories

Keep the data where it belongs

• Locate data where it makes sense, under its own rules– Seismic in multi-terabyte disk farms– Engineering on Windows servers– Databases from other vendors for certain asset teams, etc..

• Catalog the existing data repositories– Register over the entire network all data sources

• E&P projects will point to a list of selected repositories– Build a project by associating data from different sources.

• Distribute the management of data– Synchronized services available on all systems storing data– No single point of failure

Benefit: Scalable to any company size

• εpos can run on a single laptop, with a single user– No onerous administrative overheads

• εpos can run in a complex environment– Heterogeneous hardware platforms– Great diversity of data in different data stores– Connected to third-party repositories– Complex user authorization patters including specialists, etc…– Administrators can have overview the available services

• Mobile systems included– Disconnection and re-connection of mobile systems– Automatic synchronization with the other εpos servers
