ExxonMobil Enhances Energistics Standards DevKit
Open Source Program Now Supports RESQML(TM) 1.1
Nov. 7, 2012 12:31 PM
HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 11/07/12 -- The Energistics Consortium announced today that ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company has provided an enhanced version of the Standards DevKit that adds support for RESQML 1.1 including managing the HDF5 file format. This enhanced version of the Standards DevKit will support RESQML, the Energistics reservoir data exchange standards as well as WITSML and PRODML, the Energistics standards for drilling and production data exchange.
The Standards DevKit (developed by ExxonMobil Technical Computing Company) is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0, and leverages Microsoft .NET technology to allow developers to quickly and easily work with objects directly in .NET while seamlessly translating those objects into XML to be saved as files or transferred to web servers. The open source DevKit will provide developers a simple path to adopting Energistics standards without requiring them to learn the extensive XML structure. The DevKit is available for download on the Energistics website.
"Reducing barriers to adoption is the key to realizing the benefits of the Energistics open data exchange standards," said Cindy Reece, Upstream Technical Computing Manager, ExxonMobil Technical Computing Company, and member of the Energistics Board of Directors.
The release of this enhanced Standards DevKit is intended to encourage the use of WITSML, PRODML and RESQML across the oil and gas industry by lowering the learning curve and reducing custom development efforts. Additionally, the DevKit will bring the library support for these standards up to the current level of formats like Excel and ASCII.
"This update improves the functionality of an important tool used in our efforts to improve adoption of the standards," said Jerry Hubbard, president and CEO of Energistics. "Our focus on maximizing adoption rates will be greatly assisted through the use of the Standards DevKit."
