 Are your ops geologists as over-driven as
they’ve told us? Would automating tasks
make them more productive/accurate/safe?
 Well Planning? Would maintaining a
trajectory database help planners?
 What tools do your drilling engineers
currently use that WITSML access would
enhance?
 Operations/optimization
 Reporting
