Report
Agip hosted a one-day forum for Tigress users in its head
offices in San Donato, Milan. Originally organised for the head
office group, the attendee list soon expanded to around 35 and we
were pleased to welcome users from Congo, Croatia, UK, Norway and
the Netherlands.
The morning session concentrated on data management issues, with
Tigress staff outlining new developments in the areas of file
formats (an XML version of the PBAscii format is being developed to
make the data more accessible to third-party applications),
extensions to third party formats (Petrel and OpenWorks), and
ongoing Open-Spirit work.
The afternoon session focussed on Agip’s approach to the
workflow, its plans to define recommended study routes for
geological modelling, and a preview of a web-based information
system under construction. Tigress concluded the forum with a short
preview of the new GeoBrowse and 3D viewer products. The day was
rounded off by dinner, and a chance to sample the excellent Italian
cuisine.
