The architecture of a plug-and-play kernel for oilfield software applications

Abstract

It is now common practice for engineers to use PC software to design and evaluate oilfield services. Rapidly changing technology in PC software has made it necessary for organizations to release new applications quickly to remain competitive. The authors designed a plug-and-play kernel for the computer aided design and evaluation (CADE) applications to reduce development time and time to market. The paper discusses the kernel used in the CADE software in detail.
