Printer Makes Well Logs That Are Clear, Durable
HOUSTON-The Neuralog 300x from
Neuralog offers a cost effective, fast,
flexible and scalable option for printing
well logs, Neuralog says.
"With HP PageWide technology at
the core of our printers, our customers
are getting products that deliver superior
quality with fast turnaround and easy operation," praises Ken Land, Neuralog's
president and chief technology officer.
"Through our collaboration with HP, we
are able to offer world class solutions
with a lower cost of ownership and virtually no setup requirements."

The printer prints full-scale and halfscale well logs at 14 inches a second,
which Neuralog says makes it the fastest
printer available. The company adds that
the durable colors will not streak, run or
fade, and are pen- and pencil-friendly.
The printer is compatible with a range of
well log viewing and editing applications,
provides direct access to paper and consumables to ease setup, and has a small
footprint that allows it to fit easily into
an office space, the company concludes.

MIx CoreTM Helps Industry Comb Massive Datasets

SAN FRANCISCO-Bit Stew Systems
says its MIx CoreTM platform is gaining
market traction in the oil and gas industry
by helping companies solve the data integration challenge at scale.
According to the company, the software
provides real-time intelligence across complex environments by automating and managing data ingestion, and integrating massive
industrial deployments rapidly. Bit Stew
says the platform solves the oil and gas industry's data integration challenge by correlating sensor, geospatial and work order
data to provide users with a semantic understanding for real-time risk analysis of
equipment based on current and historical
asset performance.
Bit Stew is drawing on its deep experience ingesting the massive data volumes
within the utility sector to purpose-build
data-enabled applications for the oil and
gas industry, says Kevin Collins, the com-

pany's chief executive officer and founder.
"With our MIx Core platform, we can
optimize the deployment, insights and
eventually automation of industrial
processes in real time to ensure organizations are achieving optimal productivity
from their ongoing investments in industrial sensors and operational intelligence
programs," he reports.
To illustrate the platform's power, Bit
Stew cites an instance in which it modeled,
mapped, indexed and correlated an oil and
gas dataset in five hours, compared with
six man-months using traditional approaches
such as data historians, data-mapping technologies, and open-source data stores. The
company says MIx Core can use the data
to predict equipment breakdowns, automatically schedule pre-emptive maintenance,
and avoid costly downtime.
