INTRODUCTION
1.1 IIWS
The Interactive Interpretation Workstation Centre (IIWS) of Western Offshore Basin, commonly called
the IIWS, is a major Centre where G&G interpretation of seismic and related exploration data, are carried
out for hydrocarbon prospecting. Located on 4th
Floor of Priyadarshini Building, the Centre is primarily
used for carrying out 2D & 3D Seismic Interpretation with the help of State of the art software and high
end graphics Work Stations. Besides these, two Data Viewing Rooms have been setup with workstations
installed for carrying out G&G data viewing by outside expert consultants.
The servers, peripheral units and network switches are all housed in a closed room, where the
environment factors such as the temperature and humidity are maintained by precision air conditioners.
This server room was expanded and all the equipment and ACs have been reoriented. The false floors
have been replaced with fire-resistant /fire-proof tiles. The IIWS Centre has been christened a name called
‘MANASKRUTI’. This was inaugurated by Shri Dinesh Kumar Pande, Director (Exploration), on 23rd
Feb., 2010.

1.2 Goal and Scope of the project
Information is a very important resource in the present world. It thus becomes very important to have
access to structured data, which is free from inconsistency. Also it is equally important to be able to
modify this data easily as and when required. A company needs to keep track of its resources in order
make sure that it is making an optimum use of them. These resources can be tangible as well as
intangible. Thus providing a way to access, modify and maintain information related to all resources is
very important can be a major strength for a workplace. All information pertaining to important resources
like software licenses, workstation and employee information was already maintained in excel sheets. I
have attempted to provide an alternate way to maintain and modify data related to these resources.
ExistingSystem:
The existing system consists of maintaining all the relevant information in Excel sheets. Though it is not
entirely systematic, it has a number of major flaws. Some of them are as follows:
1. It is very easy to accidently modify leading to data loss.
2. It can lead to data redundancy. Same information can be present in multiple excel sheets and failure to
modify the information in all of them shall lead to redundant data.
3. These spreadsheets are remade periodically, which is a tedious process.
4. These spreadsheets are to be made available each and every time someone requires them in order to
insure that they have the latest information.
5. Slow data processing.
6. Not user-friendly way of maintaining information.
ProposedSystem:
The new resource management system has the following advantages:
1. Prevents data redundancy and data inconsistency.
2. Friendly user interface.
3. Time saving
4. Ease in providing different levels of privileges to the same information.
5. Database connection enables use of different type of queries.
The project is mainly developed for management of 3 important resources: software license details,
workstation details and employee information.
Software license details:
Interpretation work is carried out in IIWS using interpretation softwares like Openworks, Petrosys,
Hampson Russell, Paradigm, Petrel, etc. Its important to keep track of the licenses of these softwares to
ensure that all the licenses purchased by IIWS are being used in an optimal manner. Also one needs to be
aware of the version details of each license as the various features offered by each software change with
the change in version. We also need to keep track of the date of purchase of these licenses to insure that
they are renewed before their expiry.
Workstation Details:

6.
It is very important to keep track of information related to the workstations, as it would allow efficient
means of information retrieval. We need to keep track of details like serial no. for efficient inventory
management. Details like model, operating system and memory are important for allotment of
workstations for various tasks. One needs to also store information related to warranty to ensure that
trouble faced is minimum when the workstation breaks down. It is of utmost importance to link each
workstation with the project it is used for and its users to facilitate easy exchange of project specific
information.
Employee Details:
This set of details consists of project relevant information related to employees. An employee may be
using more than one workstation for a project. Also workstations being used for a project may or may not
be reserved. An employee can also be a part of more than one project. It is essential that all this
information is readily available so that one can easily identify whom to contact for project specific
information.

IIWS
2.1 Hardware:
This center consists of Dell and HP Workstations where interpretation of seismic and related exploration
data is carried out, centrally connected to a server (Dell R910 also called as WOBr910) and an attached
storage (Isilon). Server, Storage and Network Switch are all housed in a separate server room which is
equipped with humidity and temperature controllers. All the workstations are spread across 3 main halls
and 2 Data viewing Rooms. Other devices connected to this network consist of a group of HP Plotters
(used for plotting maps and various other graphs) and Tape Drives (used for reading and writing of tapes
for sending/receiving of data in and out of IIWS). This entire group of hardware is protected against
Power Failure by a powerful UPS System which resides in a separate UPS room.

8.
2.2 Software:
Interpretation work is carried out using various Interpretation software like Openworks, Petrosys,
Hampson Russell, Paradigm, Petrel, etc. Apart from the Interpretation softwares, there are some mapping
software like Bentley and plotting software ZehPlot.

9.
2.3 System Administration:
System Administration activities here consist of:-
1. Maintenance of Interpretation software and their licenses. Keeping a track of licenses’ expiration
and performing license renewal on time.
2. Updating Interpretation software to their latest versions.
3. Maintaining proper network connectivity between all the workstations, server and all the
peripherals like tape drives and plotters
4. Maintaining the database (storage) and keeping track of usage status.
5. Performing Data Backup on regular intervals. This backup is stored in a suitable media and can
be restored in case of data loss.
6. Performing writing and reading of tapes for receiving/sending of data in and out of the IIWS.
7. Resolving day-to-day users’ issues etc.

APPLICATION
This project is mainly used for management and maintenance of various resources like software licenses,
workstations and employees. This project is currently used in ONGC, WOB Mumbai and is hosted on
their intranet at 10.205.148.31:90/wobintranet/ongc_wsinfo/resourcemanagementsystem.aspx. This
reduces the human load as the information related to software licenses, workstations and employees is no
longer required to be manually maintained in Excel spreadsheets. This can easily provides data security
as only authenticated users can access it with minor changes. It would also be possible to grant various
levels of access to different users. This system also prevents data loss because the data maintained
manually is more prone to data loss. The project also provides user friendly interface so that it can easily
understood by the employees.

CONCLUSION
Thus, a Resource Management System is built. This reduces the human load as all the information related
to various important resources is no longer required to be manually maintained. This also provides data
security as only authenticated users can be allowed to access it. This also prevents data loss because the
data maintained manually is more prone to data loss.
Thus, this project will help in providing features like computerized system, friendly user interface, save
paper work as well as time, and provide connection to database so that we can use different type of
queries. This shall surely be of great help as it shall prevent data inconsistency.
