Petroleum Exploration Domain Ontology-Based Knowledge Integration and Sharing System Construction

Data in major commercial petroleum industries are complex in nature and often poorly organized and duplicated, and exist in different formats. Due to the diverse nature of business products and operations in different geographic locations, these industries demand more accurate and precise information and data. This study presents petroleum exploration domain ontology-based knowledge integration and sharing system framework to minimize the complexity of heterogeneous data, and enhances power of knowledge integration and information sharing among different operational units. The mechanism can support collaborative petroleum exploration process development by providing functions of knowledge integration and sharing. Results of this study facilitate the knowledge integration and sharing of petroleum exploration businesses to satisfy the knowledge demands of participants, and increase company's competitive capability, reduce exploration and development life cycle time and costs, and ultimately increase enterprise marketability.
