A large quantity of data in earthquake, well-log, grilling, geology and other non-seismic geophysics, has been accumulated during long period of petroleum prospecting. These data are stored in papery document and managed in low efficient manual management. This paper proposed this petroleum exploration information management system which adopts SQL Server2000 as database server and combines B/S...

Understanding why individuals delay dispersal and become subordinates within a group is central to studying the evolution of sociality. Hypotheses predict that dispersal decisions are influenced by costs of extra-territorial prospecting that are often required to find a breeding vacancy. Little is known about such costs, partly because it is complicated to demonstrate them empirically. For exam...
