According to Paradigm, Techsia ‘misappropriated’Ĭode from Paradigm’s Geolog well log data management program, and is now marketingĪnd selling the infringing code in Techsia’s ‘Techlog’. Paradigm is suing French software minnow Techsia in the USįor alleged copyright infringement. With the same key technology providers as Aspen has for HySys in oil and gasįrench software house is accused of ‘misappropriating’ code from the Geolog well log data management tool in its Techlog product. We have been preaching the merits of APC to the offshore industry, but ‘Process optimization has been done for years with automatic production controllers Vasbinder offered a different slant on the digital oilfield, Honeywell is working with Schlumberger, ScandpowerĪnd other third party vendors to ensure their HySys-based tools operate with We use UniSim in both the Operate/Optimize and the Design markets will alsoĪccelerate new developments’. We hired 15 top HySys developers from Aspen earlier this year. Both are based on HySys 3.5,īut we plan for a more aggressive product development than Aspen can match. They can eitherīuy HySys from Aspen or UniSim from Honeywell. Vasbinder added, ‘Customers now have a choice. We also acquired Aspen’s operator training business including the IPR, all associated But our aim is to have all these customers switch to UniSim!
