Northstar Live!
Northstar Live! provides real time data analysis and direct communication with the field, to shorten decision times and reduce rig costs. A proprietary technology, Northstar Live! enables clients to remotely and securely access test results via multiple stations anywhere in the world in real-time. This occurs via satellite link-up that has a maximum of only seconds of lag time. This technology also allows for communication with a Northstar technician while the tests are being run. In addition, this tool can be used to ensure secure communications between decision makers in the event of a tight hole.
The greatest advantage of Northstar Live! is the flexibility it offers. As a test is executed, a decision-maker from a central location may observe the data, and use this immediate information to amend the test parameters on current tests to ensure optimal data collection.
