2003 - Siplex Exploratory Projects


The Siplex was an idealized system in the master's thesis of the geologists Reneu Rodrigues and Claudio Bettini in 1983 and written by the same ones in Fortran to Mainframe. It was adopted as a tool by the Exploration area of ​​Petrobras and TI assumed its maintenance and continuity. It is the system responsible for studies of the exploration areas, conducting commercial viability simulations and recording the geological parameters of the same. It is one of the main Petrobras Exploration systems in the world.

Fortran interface
In 2003 Siplex was a set of several programs in Fortran, with input and output of data through text files and a "friendly" interface written in Visual Basic 6 that triggered these various cores. This was the system used by geologists to record the information of an exploration phase and to generate simulation scenarios considering the various geological and commercial variables that could influence the exploration of the area.

I was hired by Accenture to work on the system, being responsible for the continuity and mainly the migration of the text files to the Oracle database when the new version of the system, fully rewritten in C # .Net was released.

Siplex 800x600 interface
In January of 2005 was released the new version, with its new interface, in popup format and 800x600 resolution . In January 2007 there was an adaptation of the interface, increasing the resolution to 1024x768. In this adaptation I began to play the design role for the team, being responsible for future systems interfaces until 2013.

Some years later, with the growth of the systems related to Siplex, this system became a module called Exploratory Projects, part of the workflow of exploratory project management. The name Siplex came to become the set of systems of this workflow, becoming SIPLEX - System of Planning and Exploratory Control.

Siplex 1024x768 interface
The development of the system is continuous, adding new technologies and functionalities depending on the demand of the managers.

After 10 years of using Siplex, some limitations began to appear due to the technologies used, which were already outdated, both in the backend and in the front end. Thinking about the continuity and growth of the project, with maintenance facilities, it was decided to rewrite the entire system, implementing technologies such as MVCRestnHibernate and WCF for the back-end and BootstrapCSS 3HTML 5 and Highcharts for the front-end.


In the market there are solutions that do what Siplex proposes, such as GeoX from Schulumberger, REP from Logicom E&P and prospect analysis software from Rose&Associates .

For legal reasons, interfaces can not be readable.

I have been working with computers since I was 16 years old. I started doing support for my friends, soon making it my profession. I attended my second degree in electronics, then I graduated in computer networking and finally postgraduate in analysis, project and systems management. I have worked in several companies over the last 20 years, such as Atos Origin, Accenture, BRQ and Stefanini, with Petrobras as customer, where I spent 15 years working in the Exploration and Production (E&P) area. I worked in one of the company's main systems, Siplex, where I worked in more than 17 systems and countless tasks, from infrastructure, back-end development, front-end development and project coordination.
