Geoscience Applications

VolumePro™ products are based on patented real-time 3D volume-processing technology. These products dramatically advance the state of the art in performance, image quality, and integration of 3D visualization systems. VolumePro technology provides the fastest and most affordable imaging solution for real-time interpretation of large seismic volumes for individual workstations, interpretation workgroups, and high performance visualization platforms for desk-side and visualization center applications.

Real-time 3D volume-rendering is ideally suited to applications including oil and gas exploration, wellhead drilling planning, seismic data interpretation, petroleum engineering, subsurface fault and earthquake detection and planning. Successful exploration and production of hydrocarbons depends on the ability to rapidly interpret large volumes of subsurface data.

This technology allows the geoscientist to:

• Instantly produce regional overlays
• Quickly identify leads
• Rapidly perform detailed prospect-specific visual evaluations
• Integrate the subtle structural, stratigraphic, and amplitude data with a high degree of clarity
• Real-time 3D volume visualization techniques produce quality results, greater knowledge and • understanding of the subsurface structure, and provides more accurate conclusions without having to generate conventional maps. Interpreters may now use the same approach used by neurosurgeons to quickly investigate 3D volumes in extremely fine detail in real-time.
