Tigress holds 9th annual CIS user group meeting

 

28 November 2007

Moscow

VNIINEFT, the biggest research institute for the Russian oil industry and one of a growing number of enthusiastic Russian Tigress clients, hosted Tigress’s 9th annual meeting last month. The event was held in Moscow and attendance was dominated by users from the European region of Russia.

There are 11 time zones across Russia. Tigress has users in almost all areas of Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) where the oil and gas industry operates, so we rotate the venues for our user meetings between Moscow, Tyumen (in Southern Siberia, where our Tigress office is based) and further east into Kazakhstan or eastern Russia.

Attendees at Tigress's 9th annual CIS user group meeting

More than 30 delegates from six companies took part in this year’s event.

User group meeting schedule

The day began with a preview of the latest Tigress developments, due for release in 2008 in the forthcoming 5.1.0 delivery. We also introduced the concept of “Tie it all together” showcasing the range of Geotrace’s services to its customers. An HFI technology case study based on West Siberian data was particularly well received, as were new Tigress developments such as the production data management Reporter tool and the HubCentral data management initiatives.

Users submitted a list of comments at the meeting and gave other useful feedback through user presentations and discussions, and this material will be reviewed and considered for future Tigress development.

Tigress training certificates were awarded to a group of VNIINEFT trainees, who completed a training course in Tigress volumetrics earlier this year. During the day release packs with latest 5.0.3 release were handed to customers.

Russian users

Tigress has been active in Russia since the early 1990s and many of our established users are ‘second or third generation’, having taken their knowledge of Tigress from one company to another as they progress their careers. So, following tradition, users celebrated the end of the seminar with a Russian-style vodka party and took the chance to continue discussions and build on friendships old and new.

Thanks

Special thanks go to those who put their efforts into the meeting, either by direct participation or by helping with preparations: Russel Dickson (Geotrace Woking), Nikolai Golubtsov, Anthon Rybalko, Fedor Simonov, Emin Mamedov, Natalya Pilipenko and all the Tyumen office staff.
