Distributed bank of geological and geophysical information of VNIGNI as a part of the industrial unified fund of geological information

The authors discuss systematization, storage, integration, and access to geological and geophysical information related to crude hydrocarbons with the use of GEOBANK web-oriented software environment created on the basis of MGS-Framework platform and PostgreSQL object-relational database system. On the basis of GEOBANK, the information space Unified Bank of Geological and Geophysical Information is implemented in the Russian Research Institute of Oil Exploration (VNIGNI), which is designed to manage access to geological and geophysical information collected in the Institute. Unified Bank of Geological and Geophysical Information of VNIGNI is actively used in solving problems of information and analytical support of the state subsoil use system in the field of crude hydrocarbons and scientific generalization of the results of Russian petroleum provinces regional study. The paper presents the main storage sections of the Unified Bank of Geological and Geophysical Information of VNIGNI and their capacity. The structure of the Unified Bank is considered as an integral part of the VNIGNI distributed databank of geological and geophysical information. Within the framework of the developed structure, workplaces of specialists of the institute and its branches are created to handle information and analytical tasks. The issues of the VNIGNI distributed databank of geological and geophysical information interaction with the “Unified Subsurface Geological Information Fund” Federal State Information System are discussed. The basic functionality and user interface are described. The aspects of its further development are presented.
