Meeting Complex Drilling and Subsurface Challenges Through Advanced Software Tools

ExxonMobil has a strong commitment to developing and utilizing drilling and subsurface research. Previous presentations<br>have discussed examples of unique ExxonMobil drilling and subsurface technology. However, while individual technologies<br>give benefit incrementally, maximum business impact is realized only when each technology is integrated into the larger<br>drilling and subsurface workflow and moved from the research lab to the operational environment. Furthermore, the resulting<br>software implementation must be technologically sound and usable in the context of drilling and subsurface workflows to be<br>of business value.
