Basin Scale Exploration – A New Frontier for Desktop Visualization

Visualization technology has changed dramatically over the past few years, moving<br>from a high end tool used only in visualization rooms by major oil companies to a<br>desktop solution applied to a significant range of exploration and field development<br>opportunities. Visualization has become an enabling technology to both speed seismic<br>interpretation and integrate geologic and geophysical data much more effectively than<br>ever before. The rapid changes in adoption are being driven by the requirement for a<br>significant reduction in exploration risk, cost reduction and cycle time improvement.<br>This paper will focus on thinking beyond current volume interpretation workflows to<br>demonstrate how visualization can play a vital role in Basin Scale exploration and<br>interpretation.
