What is WellProg?
WellProg, petroleum exploration software, pulls all the relevant pre-drilling information together and organizes all the knowledge and data that needs to be shared between departments and with top executives. It is easy to use and customize to your unique business processes.
All participating departments summarize and enter their data into this petroleum exploration software. This saves your oil and gas professionals time by facilitating inter-departmental communication without having to constantly meet to share spreadsheets and paper documents. It is online and always available to add, edit, or review. The value of the data stored for look-back purposes is superior to collections of papers and binders. WellProg is the management communication tool that will enhance the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of your drilling program.
