Veritas opens Toronto Visualisation Lab

 Toronto 25 May 00 Veritas Exploration Services opened its Canadian data visualization center. Resources include a Silicon Graphics Onyx 2 Infinite Reality supercomputer, high resolution digital rear-projection system, an 18' x 7' viewing screen, and an extensive tool kit of both third party and proprietary software applications. The facility is ideal for exploration teams to work within a collaborative setting offered by the main theater with seating for up to 30 geoscientists, and alternately in private visualization workrooms, allowing simultaneous analysis to be conducted by multi-discipline teams.

"Customers will be able to leverage the use of our visualization center to improve product quality and thereby reduce risk during any phase of their project from acquisition to processing, interpretation and beyond," stated Carl Huxohl, Assistant Manager of Visualization Services. "By directly integrating the processing work flows with the visualization and interpretation environment, clients can quickly visualize large 3D data volumes in a fraction of the time previously taken," continued Huxohl.

This Visualization Center is the only Canadian facility of its class to be available on a non-proprietary basis to oil and gas exploration and production companies. The center seamlessly integrates a full suite of advanced data interpretation and analysis applications, enabling customers to visualize massive 3D surveys and associated attributes, interpretations and well data.

Working with Veritas processing teams to review and quality control processing sequences, potential problems can be resolved early, saving clients both time and money. This is especially true in the case of 3D depth imaging services, which have provided dramatically improved views of the subsurface in areas of complex geology and geophysics. In addition, customers can take advantage of a variety of specialized services such as advanced AVO analysis, fractal studies, integrated reservoir management studies and fast-track visualization projects.

The Calgary facility is one of Veritas' four data visualization centers now in operation worldwide, and is equipped with an extensive computing environment. Using a model similar to its sister centers in Houston, U.S.A., Crawley, U.K., and Perth, Australia.
