At Anadarko, we use the
visualization technology that Mechdyne installed for us to do a couple things.
We have two kinds of facilities in the building. The first
kind are the smaller rooms that we use for collaboration
so small groups get together and they look over the data together.
The other thing we use the rooms for
implies the other kind of room we have which is
our large theater.
That room usually gets used for collaboration.
It also gets used for very high level
demonstrations. We have everything from
presidents of
countries, to oil ministers, to partners that we do exploration with
coming through.
Visualization helps us look at data more completely at one time. It lets us put together a volume of information
where we used to look at slices
Visualization helps people that
are looking at data for the first time that have never seen it
but it also helps experts understand it more deeply.
When you're in a stereo theater and you're looking at
one of the data types we use which is called sizemic
In stereo,
with opacity, it makes it
very clear, very quickly what we're doing
that you just couldn't
show as quickly any other way. I think
one of the values that we didn't expect to get out of the collaborative environments was
an educational benefit.
We are doing exploration in countries now in which
many of the people in these countries
don't really understand what we do and they
don't really necessarily trust what we do. We've had a couple sessions bringing in
newspeople
from these countries to educate them about the process of education and I think it's really helped the people in those countries to feel more comfortable. What we do is a good thing.
Mechdyne is not just a projector vendor, it's an integration company, it comes from an academic route and I really feel
for that reason, they feel like they understand what we are trying to do.
I've always found Mechdyne service to be outstanding. They are great integrators. They
understand all the technology
but it's not just the technologies, it's the way they know how to apply it to the problems that we have in exploration.
And they know what those problems are.
