24 Claims

1. A computing system, comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory coupled to the one or more processors and encoded with instructions that when executed cause the one or more processors to:

generate a multi-tenant processing environment configured to implement a multi-tenant processing flow comprising a plurality of stages, wherein the multi-tenant processing environment comprises a hydrocarbon exploration and production processing environment and the multi-tenant processing flow comprises a hydrocarbon production flow;

provide, for each tenant of a plurality of tenants of the multi-tenant processing environment, a secure partition configured to store and isolate data and computational resources of the tenant of the plurality of tenants;

receive, from the tenant, a request to register, with the multi-tenant processing environment, a tenant application to be executed at a stage of the plurality of stages of the multi-tenant processing flow by the secure partition of the tenant, wherein the tenant application is tenant proprietary application not viewable by any other tenant of the plurality of tenants; and

responsive to the request:

create a partition request message queue configured to pass computation parameters from a multi-tenant application to the secure partition of the tenant, wherein the computation parameters pertain to the hydrocarbon production flow;

create a partition response message queue configured to pass a computation result from the secure partition of the tenant to the multi-tenant application to be used in the hydrocarbon production flow; and

create, within the secure partition, an application manager configured to:

receive the computation parameters from the partition request message queue;

pass one or more of the computation parameters to the tenant application;

receive the computation result from the tenant application; and

store the computation result in the partition response message queue.
