History
 Before the ANH´s creation, the technical information was
report and deliver to Ecopetrol and managed by
Schlumberger. The ANH was create in 2003 and it received the
database and tapes/documents from Ecopetrol. The
EPIS was manage in all its components by
Schlumberger between 2003 and 2007.
 During 2007 & 2008 an IT service company was
managing the hardware platforms of the NDR, and
Schlumberger still was operating and providing the
software

Exploration & Production Exploration Service
History
 In 2009, the ANH continued with the new business model
definition.
-Decentralized operational model: Each component is
manage by a different company, allowing the ANH to
have better control, removing the “black-box” effect Since the end of 2009, the NDR data was migrate from
Schlumberger applications to a new EPIS system, based
on Whereoil by Kadme. The system is operate by a local
company, and the IT infrastructure is operate by an IT
local provider.
