Bespoke
Oil exploration companies, service contractors and industry consultants often use a wide variety of geoscience applications, together with proprietary algorithms and techniques in conducting their day to day business. Many of these specialist software packages, proprietary algorithms and new innovative techniques do not integrate seamlessly with the existing major software systems.
ARK CLS has extensive experience in developing software under both the GeoQuest and Landmark environments, enabling many of the specialist software packages and proprietary algorithms to be integrated into their core exploration work flows.
Specialising in seismic geophysics ARK CLS, uses its experienced professionals to undertake consultancy work and short-term bespoke development projects, right through to the design and specification of large-scale software systems.
Bespoke software development is the original core sector of ARK CLS’s business. As such, we have acquired years of experience developing custom software applications for our clients. It is preferable to develop proprietary software solutions from well-documented requirements specifications. However, time constraints and work pressures frequently make it difficult for our clients to generate such a document. Under such circumstances we can arrange for our software developers, also experienced geoscientists, to discuss the client’s ideas in detail. If required we would follow up by producing a technical discussion document. This would form the basis for further discussion. Before starting a bespoke software development project we would prepare a formal proposal setting out our terms and outlining the cost to the client.
