PARTNER PROFILE
Together PETRA and PetraSeis provide geoscientists an integrated application with a common data base and interface for all project and data management, well log analysis, mapping, cross-sections, seismic integration and interpretation, production and reservoir analysis ,3D visualization and Production Group Normalization Tool. PETRA is used for many different workflows such as: 

• Regional and local studies
• Geologic interpretation
• Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures
• Well log analysis
• Production & reservoir analysis
• Infill drilling
• Conventional & unconventional plays
• Project and data management

BUSINESS CHALLENGES
In today's multi-vendor environments it is critical to integrate with several applications and databases to enable the full business workflow for the end users.  Data coming from several sources can often provide format issues, platform issues, and coordinate & unit issues.

BENEFITS
OpenSpirit has provided the Petra Data Connector for several years, allowing other OpenSpirit-enabled application access to the Petra data for their workflows. Leveraging the OpenSpirit Application Adapter framework, Petra users will be able to drive from the Petra application and access data from the full list of OpenSpirit-enabled data sources, as well as allowing interoperability events that drive integration and seamless workflows even further across several OpenSpirit-enabled partner applications and databases, including GIS and cursor tracking events.
