Program/Database Name
Fledermaus
General description
Easy-to-use 3D visualization package where geo-referenced data can be explored. The package has two main modules: A) DMagic – elevation models are color-coded and shaded and combined with maps, charts, aerial photos and satellite imagery. The data can be profiled and analyzed (e.g. histograms, dip-analysis). B) Fledermaus – 3D viz, where elevation models and draped imagery are visualized and explored. Additional data such as DXF CAD, solid model 3DS or OBJ files and ArcGIS data (shape etc) can be imported and draped on the elevation data. Fledermaus imports a wide range of raster formats, and has also a separate gridding package for random XYZ or attribute data. Typical uses: Gridding and visualisation of bathymetri, side scan sonar data, geophysical data (grav/mag etc). The software has a movie-making module, where it is possible to make fly-troughs of scenery.

For 3D-interpretation the program provides applications as seismic attribute analyses and time slices. GeoAtlas: Useful for displaying, modifying, and arrangement of layers created in other GeoGraphix Discovery applications to create 2D and 3D maps and montages. You can create maps, modify map attributes, add drawings, objects, and annotations, and print maps. WellBase: Provides access to a database management system for geologic well data, including formation tops and deviation surveys. Using WellBase you can easily import and export well data in several formats including ASCII files and spreadsheets.
Software package used to manipulate columns of tabular data, time-series, and gridded data sets, and for displaying of these data in a variety of forms ranging from simple x-y plots to maps and color, perspective, and shaded-relief illustrations
Modelling of 2.5 D gravimetric and magnetic data. The input is 2D profiles, where it is possible to adjust the orthogonal width symmetrically about the profile. Input to the models may be grav/mag data where the model is built, or both grav/mag data and model may be imported
Advanced 2D basin modelling system with built-in structural reconstruction capabilities. Has ability to create area balanced cross sections in environments with normal or reversed faults, and to analyze the interplay between tectonic processes, heat flow and timing of generation and distribution of hydrocarbons in a basin. Modelling is based on imported or digitized seismic sections and borehole data.
A modelling package for the simulation of any physical process you can describe with partial differential equations. The equations are solved using the finite element method, and can be also applied on multiphysics problems, for example solving thermo-mechanical problems
Image processing and analysis package, in particular well suited for satellite and aerial photo analysis. It supports orthorectification of aerial photos, and handles most standard cameras (e.g. the ones used by Widerøe). It mosaics, color balances and compresses very large image data sets via the ECW and JPEG 2000 standards
ArcGIS has several components: ArcGIS Desktop is the package most users would want. It installs on the desktop computer and is a comprehensive Geographical Information System (GIS) which is used to create, import, edit, query, map, analyze, and publish geographic information. All functionality levels are offered (ArcINFO).

General description An integrated Windows-PC software solution from Schlumberger that provides applications from seismic interpretation to reservoir simulation. Petrel is build up of five modules: Geophysics: Seismic interpretation of 2D and 3D data, attribute maps of horizons and intervals, conversion of seismic data to depth, detection of anomalies and facies objects.Geology: Displays and organize well logs in a 2D environment, estimate facies distribution, perform analysis to calculate fluid flow properties and sealing potential of faults. Reservoir Engineering: Includes advanced gridding and upscaling of models. Well Engineering: Design wells interactively by digitizing the path directly in the 3D window. You can pick targets, identify surface locations, and iteratively design trajectories in a reservoir model. Data and Results Viewer: Provides easy access for viewing well, seismic interpretation and simulation results
General description Commercial seismic processing package. The processing flow is built on the screen by interactively choosing from a large number of processes. From the commercial announcement: "The ProMAX seismic data processing family from Landmark is the industry's most widely used software for seismic data processing, from field processing and quality control to interpretive project-oriented reprocessing at oil companies to large survey production processing at service companies. ProMAX excels at interactive seismic data analysis for optimum parameter selection and rapid problem solving." Data can be read from 8mm (Exabyte) cartridge tapes written in SEG-Y format (or other formats commonly used for seismic data) or from similar disk image files. Seismic sections may be plotted in black & white on 24 inch wide rolls of paper.
