Furthermore they used brand new technologies in areas of document preservation, storage, organization, structuring, consults and data analysis.This document shows the change and benefits of a traditional system of location and recovery of information of wells vs. an integrated system of handling wells information via electronic Intranet/Extranet/Internet. The user can consult his area of interest starting from reliable well coordinates, to gather partial or total well logs information, by zones or all depth, to locate the available seismic information, besides the geologic and operative information gathered in drilling processes, logs services, completion and wells production tests.Additionally the modules, that conform the only POZOTECA of the country, are presented with their structure and the processes of documents capture: vectorizing and digitizing, unification of parameters of acquisition and processing, strategies of databases integration and navigation systems and consults of this valuable key information for the development of the country. This outline according to international experts' concepts is an unique model that has not been developed in another country of the world reason why it will be very useful for the implementation of similar processes in the national and international oil industry, highlighting that it is a work developed basically with the contribution of the knowledge of national technological base companies.The philosophy of acquisition, updating, administration, consults and handling of the POZOTECA establishes applicable work protocols to other areas of the knowledge in the oil industry. It guarantees the resources optimization; decrease of costs and it avoids misinformation. Equally, the system increases the productivity of the E&P workers and the discovery of new reserves and business opportunities. The economic and technological contribution of the present project is invaluable and it can be used immediately.The system is available for data mining and data analysis1,2 processes. It is established architecture for data transformation with features clearly defined e.g. data type, unity and semantic aspects into the E&P environment.IntroductionThe technological leadership of the companies depends of knowledge generation and knowledge management. The availability of original data, their state, organization and an optimal learning model previously created are key factors to get new knowledge.The Colombia country has several data sources in Exploration and Production (E&P) that has been recorded since the beginning of the XX century. There are well files documents, well logs, seismic logs, surface coordinates and well trajectories. All of them were recorded at different epochs, by different companies, different operators, with different formats and different recording media type. They are not standardized nor unified. Most of those well documents are deteriorated by the time, manual consulting and handling with faded and stained areas. Some of them are lost for different causes and they are located in different offices through all the country.
