visualization centers

Occidental’s Visualization Center for geoscientific reservoir analysis blends advanced visualization technology with team collaboration, making Occidental an industry leader in reservoir surveillance techniques.

Visualization centers are used by the oil and gas industry for seismic analysis, geologic interpretation and well planning exercises. Occidental’s geoscientists have taken the technology further by implementing robust collaboration techniques that combine advanced computing technologies with traditional geoscience and engineering functions.

The program’s success has allowed Occidental to expand the technology’s reach by deploying visualization centers globally. Most facilities have a minimum 15-foot screen and two six-foot auxiliary screens that provide large, simultaneous viewing of multi-disciplinary data and applications that offer a high-quality, 3-dimensional look at the reservoir’s characteristics which might otherwise be undetected.

Along with a number of smaller visualization facilities, Occidental is able to engage in more spontaneous collaborative technical sessions that result in more accurate reservoir analysis, simultaneous information reproduction worldwide, and optimum use of the latest available technologies. This two phase approach results in improved analysis at a cost savings of more than 75 percent compared to typical visualization center techniques.
