OVS © One Virtual Source TM An Innovative Production Management System Delivers the Engineering Workspace of the Future

OVS (One Virtual Source) Vision OVS © is a Production Management System that dynamically couples dispersed data sources with multiple applications. It streamlines engineering processes through the creation and automation of user driven workflows to enhance E&P asset performance.

Vision of Smart Asset Management Integrated Approach Immediate response to operational events Optimize production by continuous modeling/diagnosis of wells and key facilities Exploit data and knowledge to anticipate failures with virtual intelligence technologies Proactive decision making
