SYSTEM OBJECTIVE
For each production specialty area, Drilling in
particular, it was necessary to rapidly set up a
scientific computation system with the following
characteristics :

Product industrialization
For example, the d:~;illed/vertical depths crossrelations for a given trajectory constitute a
sub-program, common to most of the softwares,
During the second half of 1988, CALPIN was upgraded by taking into account these remarks. The
softwares concu;rrent,ly developed by the Research
Centers have been also integrated.
