| The Oil & Gas industry relies on
increasingly massive volumes of complex seismic, geological and
engineering data to make
efficient investment and management decisions in the area of E&P.
Mercury Computer Systems software provides highly performant
solutions in the fields of 3D rendering, scientific visualization,
collaborative communication and immersive virtual reality for
Exploration & Production, including seismic interpretation
and visualization, reservoir modeling and simulation, drilling
planning
and flow engineering.
3D Components for Application Developers
Open Inventor® by Mercury is an object-oriented, cross-platform 3D graphics toolkit for the development of industrial-strength interactive 3D graphics applications using C++, .NET or Java.
Open Inventor® by Mercury provides the power and functionality of OpenGL at an object-oriented level. Its easy-to-use API, its extensible architecture, and its large set of advanced components provide developers with a high-level platform for rapid prototyping and development of 3D graphics applications. |
Volume Visualization
Open Inventor® and VolumeViz™ LDM are revolutionary 3D visualization developer solutions to expand the frontiers of understanding for massive seismic data volumes (greater than several 100 GBs). Unprecedented rendering quality is available through the use of programmable shaders and direct GPU-based rendering. Multi data support, such as data combining and transforming, can also be used to assist in understanding the true meaning of your data.
ScaleViz™ enables application developers to overcome the limitations of display hardware cost effectively. This optimized software solution enables transparent scalability of Open Inventor™ and VolumeViz LDM for increased resolution, quality, and performance in applications that display large volumes of data.
Moreover, ScaleViz manages features such as image combining and compositing, extensions for immersive VR rooms as well as an innovative remote application solution for interactively visualizing hundreds of gigabytes of seismic data or millions of cells reservoir models on a distant laptop computer. |
Reservoir Visualization
Mercury has developed ReservoirViz LDM, a technology
that facilitates the display and interactive manipulation of
very large amounts of scalar data (greater than to 100M cells) while
allowing users to leverage the advantages of modern CPUs
and 3D graphics hardware.
This technology extends Open Inventor with visualization
techniques on very large time series 3D meshes. |
GPU Computing
Mercury has facilitated the interoperability of Open Inventor® with NVIDIA's CUDA™ language, to provide application developers
with a unique solution that enables synchronous 3D visualization
and computation on the fly.
The combination of the revolutionary performance of CUDA with
the integration capabilities of the Open Inventor 3D API provides
application developers with infinite possibilities for massive dynamic
or static computation capabilities on seismic data with
simultaneous 3D visualization feedback, leveraging the latest
graphic board solutions to perform intensive parallel computation
on the workstation.

Framework
The Avizo™ Earth Edition software is a multi-discipline
project review solution for accessing and visualizing
3D multidimensional information (seismic, horizon,
reservoir, wells, and others…) in geophysics, geology,
reservoir engineering, and petrography.
Avizo manages complex information, large amounts of volume data,
and multi-modality data sets, with fast data loading and
interactive response even on low-end hardware.
Avizo also provides an extensible architecture, where you can
create new data readers and custom data views, and integrate
processing algorithms.
Cluster-ready, Avizo takes intensively advantage of the GPUs
for generating powerful visualization from graphics cluster and
enables remote application for distant computers. |
