Petrolink’s commitment to advancing industry standards is once again clearly demonstrated through their support for the latest Energistics™ standards of WITSML 2.1 and ETP 1.2., thereby offering significant improvements on existing data flows through updated standards. Major enhancements include real-time binary data transmission at up to ten times previous speeds, support for low-latency connections, and enhanced security through multi-factor authentication. PetroVault™ is a smart accessible environment that also covers additional drilling, completions, and intervention workflows, such as wired drill pipe, wireline logging, and fracking units. Other features include:
- In combination with Petrolink’s PetroVue™, a common visualization framework, through which all users have the capability to display WITSML, OSDU, OPC and other data formats with ease.
