• Oil is found in the minds of men

– Wallace E. Pratt

• We usually find oil in new places with new ideas. When we go to a new area we can find oil with an old idea. Sometimes we also find oil in an old place with a new idea, but we seldom find much oil in an old place with an old idea

– Parke A. Dickey

Testimonial

"GB Petroleum plc (GBP) purchased a license of oilelefant Version 1.0 in June 2007. The software will form the basis of a fully electronic database system for GBP's expanding portfolio of licenses, wells and seismic data, greatly reducing the need for hardcopy-based storage facilities. Following a straightforward installation process, with remote guidance from Interactive Net Mapping's experts, the package has been both easy and intuitive to use, even for staff with no previous GIS system experience.

The software has the flexibility to cater for various input coordinates and projection systems and transforms these to a geo-spatially correct, standardised WGS-84 global projection for consistency purposes. All input data is then displayed visually on a fully interactive global map, with zoom and drag functionality, making it easy to determine where and what types of data are available. The software is also available remotely to travelling staff, assuming an internet connection is available.

Future releases of the software will allow the data contained within the database to be queried and listed, simply by pointing and clicking on a map symbol. Help has always been available when required, using the dedicated support email and phone contacts list provided by Interactive Net Mapping. Overall, GBP would fully recommend the oilelefant software to similar start-up or small independent E&P companies wanting a well-priced and expandable GIS package."
