Executive Summary
GeoViz is a collaborative geospatial visualization system that supports simultaneous multi-user interaction, discussion and decision making. GeoViz improves effectiveness and reduces costs by bringing the whole team to the table, wherever they may be. For co-located team members, collaborative interactions take place through a touch interactive geospatial platform. For personnel in remote locations, mobile device integration allows meaningful visual and interactive participation.
Oil and gas companies acquire extremely large amounts of overlapping data, most of which is either directly geospatial in nature, or geolocated. This includes both subsurface and surface data. Various groups within the companies “own” different portions of these data sets. However, the ability for these groups to effectively and efficiently communicate the value and meaning of their data sets to each other can be difficult. GeoViz has been developed to simplify this process and improve the overall decision making capabilities of these companies around geospatial data.
