This year the 7th annual user group meeting was held on May 19, 2009 at the WesternGeco facility in Houston, Texas. The day-long meeting was attended by approximately 50 customers.
Mike Underwood of Chevron presented Chevron's Data Quality Management (DQM) approach to improved data quality and reliability for Geological and Geophysical application databases.
The InnerLogix solution is designed to assess, analyze, correct, and synchronize your data. InnerLogix contains the following software modules:
QCLogix
QCLogix is an automated, rule-based application that identifies data issues and changes by applying user-defined assessment rules to an area of interest (AOI). Rules are built upon four primary measurement categories:
Completeness—all data items have all required attributes.
Consistency—data attributes agree and are consistent across multiple data sources.
Validity—data attributes are correct, internally consistent, and fulfill standards compliance.
Uniqueness—each value uniquely defines a specific data item.
QCSync
This automated, rule-based application corrects and synchronizes data. Data changes and issues are located and automatically corrected or synchronized through a combination of user-defined business rules and the results of QCLogix. The highest-quality data are synchronized into project and corporate datastores. Over time, defects are systematically eliminated and changes (good data) are propagated throughout your environment.
QCPro
QCPro is a software bundle of QCLogix and QCSync containing automated, rule-based applications that identify data issues correct and synchronize data display results in GIS, chart, or spreadsheet form store results of all activity in a database.
ILXBackOffice
ILXBackOffice stores results from QCPro (QCLogix and QCSync) in a database. It includes the Rules Editor and ILXAdmin functionalities and stores Assessment and Correction Rules, job scheduling information, and a central table of contents.
QCAnalyst
QCAnalyst provides graphs, GIS, and reports to develop an understanding of underlying data quality issues. For each data type and measurement category combination, you can view data items that failed a specific rule. Drag and drop failed data items into DataLogix for investigation and repair.
DataLogix
A manual QC tool for analyzing, comparing, and correcting data, DataLogix allows you to discover, explore, synchronize, and repair data compare data across multiple datastores investigate failed items from QCPro assessment runs perform advanced QC analysis on log curves and marker picks identify duplicate wellbores, log curves, marker picks, and 2D navigation data. DataLogix can be run in standalone mode or as part of the QC suite of tools.
ADAPTERS
InnerLogix provides more than 50 plug-and-play adapters to common and proprietary datastores for reading, inserting, and updating both PC and UNIX applications data. InnerLogix maintains a single set of adapters used by all of our applications. These adapters use open-format, XML-based definitions for each data source, allowing a high degree of customization. While adaptors are available for most common G&G applications and datastores, InnerLogix can develop an adapter for your proprietary datastore.
