IHS donates software licence to petroleum students at Texas Tech

World 鶹ýӳ,


IHS Inc. has provided access for engineering students at Texas Tech University to IHS Petra®, a powerful software tool for geological, engineering and petrophysical analysis.

Supporting education and research for the petroleum engineering community

鶹ýӳWe are pleased to be able to make this significant gift of IHS Petra to Texas Tech, which is a global leader in both education and research for the petroleum engineering community,鶹ýӳ said Russ Sagert, Vice President of Energy Software Products at IHS. 鶹ýӳThis software will ensure that Texas Tech students have industry-leading technology at their fingertips, and will help them transition to the workforce, since many oil and gas companies require their interpreters and engineers to have experience with our IHS applications, including IHS Petra.鶹ýӳ

PC-based geological and engineering analysis software tool

IHS Petra is a PC-based geological and engineering analysis software tool that is used by geoscientists and engineers to visualise, analyse and manage well production, well log, drilling, reservoir and other related information. The tool includes a database of more than 3.5 million current and historic well records from across the world.

Giving students a competitive advantage

鶹ýӳMany E&P companies, especially independents, use this IHS software,鶹ýӳ said Marshall Watson, Chair of the Herd Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas Tech. 鶹ýӳHaving basic knowledge of the insight and analysis it provides will give our undergraduate students a real competitive advantage in job placement.鶹ýӳ

The license, valued at US$ 1.25 million, will allow up to 150 students to work on the software at the same time. The department is one of the largest petroleum engineering programs in the U.S., and this software will be deployed in the new US$ 22.8 million Terry Fuller Petroleum Engineering Research Building鶹ýӳs unique cluster of laboratories.

鶹ýӳOnce implemented, we will use the software for teaching undergraduate classes,鶹ýӳ Watson said. 鶹ýӳAlso, once data is assembled, it can be shared with other universities in an overall senior-design-project exchange plan to help each other with creating a portfolio of design projects.鶹ýӳ
