Cuba is developing an information technology project which represents a superior stage for more rational knowledge of geology, mining, and oil.

The National Program for Geology Computerization will allow the obtention of geological data by interested people and entities, said Ramon Escalona, from the National Office for Natural Resources.

The initiative aims to cover, systematize and put knowledge at the disposal of society, he told Prensa Latina.

The program has been structured on the basis of collaboration between the Basic Industry Ministry (MINBAS), the University for Computer Sciences, the National Office for Natural Resources, the Institute of Geology and Palaeonthology, and Cuban geological enterprises like GEOCUBA.

The project would help achieve a better location for information networks.
