The Studio E&P environment empowers a level of usability and productivity that supports an E&P
organization’s quest to streamline and optimize its workflow across the asset lifecycle, while also
capturing vital knowledge to maximize personal and team productivity. It features a powerful set of
tools that allow geoscientists and engineers to access, review, and use information in the context of
their workflows, providing three key capabilities that increase productivity.

• Find Your Information

Studio provides a fast, powerful and intuitive way to search, identify and consume information in the
context of your project and workflows. Filter multiple information sources on any value of metadata,
display results in a variety of ways, and either consume the information directly into your working
environment or share your results with others. Find empowers a new level of data discovery, putting
the information you need right where you need it.

• Collaborate with Your Team

Studio promotes collaboration by enabling team members to promote those elements of their project
that are of relevance to the rest of the team or business. Capturing the status and quality of
interpretation as it is published to Studio ensures integrity and reliability for other team members both
now and into the future. Subscribing to notifications on data of interest, team members can receive
alerts on the work of others that is relevant to their current workflow.

• Manage Your Knowledge

Studio provides a proven, scalable database supported by industry standard technology (Oracle® and
Microsoft® SQL Server®). It is specifically designed to handle E&P project data as well as the
knowledge related to that data, all stored together in context. This allows users to obtain better
retention and reuse of the generated knowledge.

Studio Manager
Affected Feature Issue or Limitation
Data Table Unlocking a group that contains locked children does not perform the
action, as the group is not actually locked.
In rare cases, the Data Table will show incorrect or missing results
for the columns, Top (SI), Bottom (SI), and Sampling Rate (SI).
This is due to having one or more identical unit aliases pointing to
different standard units in different repositories.
Workaround: Close and restart Studio Manager. This will resolve
the issue for the current repository, but it may reoccur later if the
above-mentioned conditions are met. A permanent fix is planned for
a future release.
Application log file StudioManager.log is always created in the default path, even if the
data administrator specifies another path.
Upgrade When upgrading Studio Manager to 2018, Studio Manager
2016.x/2017.x appears in the Uninstall or change a program panel
in Windows.
This is not an indication that the upgrade failed, nor does it affect
Studio Manager 2018 if Studio Manager 2016.x/2017.x remains in the
list of programs on the Uninstall or change a program panel. If you
want to remove Studio Manager 2016.x/2017.x (optional):
