Report
The 6th annual Russian user group was held at the Russian
Academy of Science in Zvenigorod, 60 km west of
Moscow. Fifty-five clients from over 20 companies attended
the two-day event.
As on previous occasions the bulk of the presentations were
given in Russian. The sessions were divided into user forums and
product presentations, giving the users a chance to raise questions
and suggestions for product enhancements and fixes, and to see what
new features had been added to the applications over the last year.
Five user presentations were given, showing how these companies had
approached their project work, with emphasis on mapping, seismic
interpretation and well correlation.
A visit to the Savvin-Storozhevsky Monastery was well received
on the second day, as was the evening banquet. In keeping with
tradition many vodka toasts were made and the party was
soon in full swing, with dancing and food mixed in a four-hour
marathon dinner. A number of die-hards continued the party into the
early morning hours as new and old friendships were cemented in
this incredibly friendly part of the world.
