Abstract

State-of-the-art 3-D volume visualization and systematic approach of analysing gathers, 2-D and 3-D seismic and well data help in achieving better success ratio in the upstream sector of petroleum industry. Thorough 3-D volume visualization is impossible without the establishment of Virtual Reality Centres which need to be equipped with (i) multi-processors, (ii) good amount of RAM (iii) High speed Display system and (iv) ample storage space (in tera bytes) to handle complex graphics operations on hardware side and open architecture with inter-operability like features on software side.
