Software Gift Boosts Ole Miss Engineering
UM geology and geological engineering students, such as this group participating in Geology Field Camp in Oklahoma, can complete graduate research projects using the same tools that oil and gas professionals use daily thanks to a gift of the Petrel Exploration and Production software platform from the Schlumberger Corp.

The Mississippi Mineral Resources Institute at the University of Mississippi has been gifted with the Petrel Exploration and Production software platform from the Schlumberger Corp.
This software donation, valued at $3.1 million over a three-year period, provides MMRI researchers and geology and geological engineering students with the same cutting-edge software used by the majority of the world’s major oil and gas companies. The software also provides faculty and students the full range of tools used to investigate complex geological challenges such as oil and gas exploration, neotectonics studies and modeling groundwater flow.
The structural and stratigraphic modeling capabilities of Petrel will help Ole Miss students complete their graduate research projects using the same tools that oil and gas professionals use daily.
“Working knowledge of the Petrel suite of geological analysis tools is in demand in the oil and gas industry, and this donation will give our students the opportunity to develop and hone their skills,” said Greg Easson, MMRI director and professor of geology and geological engineering. “The School of Engineering is deeply grateful for this support.”
The Petrel software and its advanced geological visualization tools also will be used for research.
“With Petrel we can integrate surface data, such as LiDAR elevation data, with subsurface data, such as well data, ground-penetrating radar and seismic reflection,” said Ron Counts, MMRI associate director.
“This will enable us to effectively correlate between datasets by creating detailed, three-dimensional geologic framework models of the subsurface, which can be used in research that ranges from locating economic resources and groundwater-flow paths to understanding the recent seismicity of northwest Mississippi.”
Schlumberger is the world’s leading provider of technology for reservoir characterization, drilling, production and processing to the oil and gas industry. With product sales and services in more than 120 countries, the company employs some 100,000 people who represent more than 140 nationalities.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. It is especially invaluable to those like me who are just starting out. Right now she is working mostly on my website and have two dormant blogs, which because you’ve given me the tools, she could see the possibilities and the light for all three.

Yes, in that short post I did say why I followed the workflow, but I should have added that copying the smart filter from one image to another is a big reason. For those without the latest version of Photoshop, I also mention that fallback route in the forthcoming 2nd edition of my Advanced B&W book. The other reason for going via Photoshop is that it seems to avoid some bugs which fall betweeen LR and Nik (the now-fixed keywords problem and a newer one that prevents LR writing metadata).

Enjoyed reading this post – a nice summary of the “flipping” concept and the potential impact that software solutions can have in terms of enhancing education. You obviously have a unique perspective with experience in both software and education, and I agree that some pretty exciting things could evolve in this space in the near future.

I like how you mention it is important to have good credit when trying to buy a new home. I’ve been thinking of moving, so I will need a real estate agent to help me with buying a new home. I will make sure to build up my credit before starting the buying process.two bedroom apartments in las vegas

These real estate agents want to play with people till they are satisfied with it. I do not know why they do that. If they really want something from their consumer, they should have just let them know about the fact rather than doing such thing.

I love this article – so many important points to consider! I also agree with what Anonymous posted above. A will is a good start, but isn’t enough to avoid probate (which will be a royal pain for your kids when you die – regardless of how much money you have). A better option is a living trust that will avoid probate and also give parents the ability to control when your kids receive an inheritance.Heating and Air Fayetteville NC

I must say an uncomplicated active design is a good starting point because it will exhibit your skills without distancing possible customers. Make sure that it is engaging and user-friendly.marketing
