Collaboration
A three-dimensional graphic environment for displaying and analyzing multidiscipline datasets. Software that visually integrates
virtually any data, from basic interpretation workflows through simulation modeling results.
Software that offers a vital, collaborative visual information framework for use by multidisciplinary teams. It provides a unique bridge between
engineers and geoscientists by simultaneously displaying seismic, interpretation data, well data and dynamic simulation models.

TIME IS PRECIOUS TO US ALL…. Put this in perspective of earth life span
Average life span of human being is 75 years.
Earth is 4.5000.000 years old.
Humans experience about 0.00017 % of earth life time
How do we know the Age of the Earth?
The oldest rocks on Earth, found in western Greenland, have been dated by four independent radiometric dating
methods at 3.7-3.8 billion years. Rocks 3.4-3.6 billion years in age have been found in southern Africa, western
Australia, and the Great Lakes region of North America. These oldest rocks are metamorphic rocks but they originated
as lava flows and sedimentary rocks. The debris from which the sedimentary rocks formed must have come from even
older crustal rocks. The oldest dated minerals (4.0-4.2 billion years) are tiny zircon crystals found in sedimentary rocks
in western Australia.
The oldest Moon rocks are from the lunar highlands and were formed when the early lunar crust was partially or entirely
molten. These rocks, of which only a few were returned by the Apollo missions, have been dated by two methods at
between 4.4-4.5 billion years in age.
The majority of the 70 well-dated meteorites have ages of 4.4-4.6 billion years. These meteorites, which are fragments
of asteroids and represent some of the most primitive material in the solar system, have been dated by 5 independent
radiometric dating methods.
The "best" age for the Earth is based on the time required for the lead isotopes in four very old lead ores (galena) to
have evolved from the composition of lead at the time the Solar System formed, as recorded in the Canyon Diablo iron
meteorite. This "model lead age" is 4.54 billion years.
