Abstract
Handheld computers are being used to improve efficiency in oil industry field operations. Field data is recorded electronically with the handheld unit rather than being written on a paper report. After the data is collected, it is uploaded into a PC database in the field office where timely reports and data analysis are produced that support the decision-making process in the field. Handheld computers play a critical role in making these efficiency improvements possible
