Abstract: Large

- Fast Volume Visualization
Scale - Fast Volume VisualizationBy
Texaco Fellow,
Texaco Inc., E&P Houston
In a time of low oil prices, finding reserves quickly and with limited risk is essential to continued profitable operations.
Explorationists, now more than ever before, need advanced technologies that reduce uncertainty. Visualization technology is an enabling tool for improving margins in a low-price environment. The success of this technique is that it lets explorationists examine very large data sets interactively, and reveals hidden but important features within 3D seismic data. The presentation will highlight projects completed using Texaco's Visualization Center. Visualization technology has helped Texaco cut cycle time in seismic
analysis from, on average, the typical three weeks to three days, helped find new prospective zones not previously identified, and helped discover new reserves.
