| Abstract |
Experience by PB Power, GENZL Division in the exploration, prioritisation, assessment and management of geothermal resources in over 20 countries throughout the world has led to the development of the GDManager software for handling a wide range of scientific and engineering data. The software has evolved through an ongoing program of development and refinement by an integrated team of software engineers, scientists and engineers. It currently operates in both DOS and Windows versions and is licensed by some 20 government agencies and private power producers for the management of more than 60 fields in over 15 countries. GDManager ensures efficient storage and ready availability of field data, with functions which include maintenance of data integrity, data correlation between disciplines, integration of data from interdisciplinary studies, manipulation of data and its validation. The versatility and capabilities of the program will be demonstrated by a series of case studies. |
