HOUSTON -- Schlumberger has acquired exclusive distribution rights in the upstream oil and gas industry for the BabelFish production integration software from ISS Group Ltd. Australia.

BabelFish is a framework that enables integration of data from multiple production operation systems, field equipment, and management applications. Data is logically grouped and graphically displayed to mirror an organization's exact real-time operational environment.

ISS will continue to market its real-time production management technologies to the midstream and downstream oil and gas, refining, minerals, chemicals, energy, manufacturing, and power industries.

"The ISS Group technologies complement the Schlumberger Information Solutions (SIS) production operations offering and expand our ability to deliver digital oil field solutions," says Tony Bowman, president of SIS. "In combination with our Avocet production data management, surveillance, analysis, and modeling solutions, the BabelFish web-based visualization framework will give production engineers and managers immediate access to actionable information to proactively monitor and make adjustments to operations systems."
