CoViz 4D, Integrated 2D-3D-4D Visualization for Individuals and Collaborative Team Sessions
Released by Dynamic Graphics, Inc.
ALAMEDA, California (September 25, 2006). Dynamic Graphics, Inc. (DGI), creator of EarthVision® and WellArchitect® software and recognized as the market leader in 3D software solutions for structurally complex petroleum reservoirs, today announced the release of CoViz® 4D 1.0. CoViz 4D provides a 2D, 3D, and 4D visualization, access, and interrogation platform to facilitate the integration and comprehension of relevant information enabling asset teams to make better and faster decisions, with greater consensus and confidence.
As Art Paradis, President of Dynamic Graphics, Inc., points out, ″Multidisciplinary teams are made up of experts armed with many tools to advance their understanding within their realm of expertise. Much of their data is processed using a variety of software applications provided by multiple vendors. CoViz 4D provides the means for teams and individuals to access information simultaneously from many sources and applications in a flexible viewing environment without the need for specific knowledge of where the information is stored, or how to run the software that generated the information. The data and information to be included become a function of what the team needs, rather than by what software and data each user knows. Critical surface information can be united with subsurface drilling; geological, petrophysical and reservoir data are visualized with maps, models, and displays of related documents and graphs.″
In addition to displaying cross-disciplinary⁄cross-product data, CoViz 4D makes it possible for the first time for customers to simultaneously view and interrogate multiple time variant data and displays in time snapshots or animations. Possible inputs include 4D seismic, reservoir simulation, fluid production, well completions, production tests, monitoring data, and other time relevant data that are deemed critical to the team.
″This technology was first envisioned to empower teams in a collaborative environment for processes such as exploration planning, exploitation evaluation, and reservoir surveillance. Now DGI is bringing these same capabilities to the desktop so that team members can have broad information access and visualization capability at all times. As one user said, asset teams can spend their time hunting for opportunity rather than data,″ remarks Mr. Paradis. With greater access to and comprehension of vital information from the desktop or in collaborative meetings, DGI customers are positioned to make better and faster decisions in order to seize opportunity and accelerate returns from efforts and investments.
