An Architecture for the Record of Provenance Data in Geological Characterization Operations
Abstract
In the prospection of oil reservoirs, geological characterization is a fundamental phase for building models that represent the elements of the petroleum system. The record of provenance data describing the intermediate steps of this process and the data set used in the operations executed, allows the full evaluation of the quality of the resulting characterization. This paper proposes an architecture that supports the collection and recovery of provenance data in applications for geological characterization, and presents a prototype tool implemented as a plug-in for Sigeo3 a geoscience software framework used by Petrobras, the main Brazilian oil company.
