Other database servers are provided, installed and maintained by client. Important: Kingdom 2015 no longer supports the use of SQL Server 2005. SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server Express 2008 include fundamental schema changes that are not compatible with SQL Server 2005. Kingdom 2015 Release Notes 9 Database Notes SQL Server Express If you install and run SQL Server Express on the same machine as Kingdom , we recommend a workstation with a minimum of 4 GB of physical memory.

8 Also note that performance can be substantially improved for large projects by adding additional RAM. If multiple users are going to access the SQL Server Express projects, you should install SQL Server Express on a network accessible machine. With the Auto version of SQL Server Express, if the instance is on the network, the Kingdom projects must also be on the network, not on individual workstations. If you have installed SQL Server Express on a networked server and you are using the Manual portability configuration, you must run the SQL Server Express Management Tools from that server in order to make projects portable or re-attach portable projects. Oracle Kingdom requires Oracle users to have CREATE VIEW System Privileges.

9 Your Oracle DBA may need to add this privilege for each Oracle user before opening or creating Kingdom projects. GeoSyn users: GeoSyn requires the 32-bit Oracle client. Install both the 32-bit and 64-bit clients. Kingdom 2015 Release Notes 10 Hardware Requirements Note: Every customer environment is different and evolving. We strongly recommend that customers work with their IT departments and consulting services to define their actual hardware needs. The information provided is a guideline and not meant to be authoritative. Processor and Random Access Memory (RAM) Kingdom can potentially access up to 128 GBs of RAM and 8 TBs of virtual memory, depending on the amount of RAM on the workstation.

10 When configuring a 64-bit workstation see the table below to determine your configuration based on the following minimum recommendations. Project Size Description Minimum Requirement Large Regional More than 200,000 wells with digital log curves, raster logs, and production data. Hundreds to thousands of 2D lines. More than 10,000 square miles of 3D seismic. 32 GB RAM 16 CPU Cores Large 50,000 to 200,000 wells with some digital log curves, raster logs, and production data More than 500 2D lines 200 to 10,000 square miles of 3D seismic 16 GB RAM 8 CPU Cores Small Less than 5000 wells with no monthly production data, a moderate number of digital log curves, and no raster logs Less than 500 2D lines 200 square miles of 3D seismic 8 GB RAM 8 CPU Cores Disk Drive Recommendations For Kingdom projects stored on a local workstation or a network file server, IHS recommends the following: Project data stored on a local workstation: 15,000 RPM SAS drives.
