Object oriented (OO) systems provide alternative solutions for handling the complex exploration business data entities, where traditional database systems pose serious limitations. Exploration, which is a key business object class in any petroleum business environment, is composed of several sub classes, such as navigation, seismic, vertical seismic profiling (VSP), well-log and reservoir. Authors classify these typical spatio-temporal data items as classes and sub class objects in the OO modeling. In the present paper, logical entity-relationship (ER) models have been re-written in multidimensional and object-oriented models. Syntax of typical exploration data object classes, attributes, operations and their relationships has been described for implementation purposes. This work demonstrates how object class logical data models are flexible and interoperable for fast changing petroleum business situations. Models presented in this paper, guide exploration data managers for effectively managing their operations. An OLAP model discussed in this paper is a pursuit of cost saving detailed exploration for oil and gas prospect investigation in any basin.

information systems and companies in several countries. Academia partly fails to fulfill the demand for candidates
with the knowledge and skills for executing international business transactions. Consequently, we lack candidates
who can translate theory into actions, thereby creating a knowledge-doing gap. This paper contributes to bridging
this gap by introducing a new learning activity: the global supply chain learning activity denoted as the GSC-Activity.
The GSC-Activity lets students execute export and import transactions in an international business-to-business
environment involving several companies while handling both the inter-company order flow and the internal order
management cycles at each company using their ERP system. This provides student with deep exposure to the
information flow along the chain and experience in executing export and import processes of each company. We
provide a workable example of the GSC-Activity with a case study repeated over several semesters involving
students from Australia and Norway.
