PowerView is a new application that delivers highly unified geophysical and geological (G&G) interpretation and on-the-fly seismic processing in a common, multidiscipline environment.

PowerView provides a single, multilayered workspace with interactive synchronized windows of diverse spatially related data types that span the domains of geology, geophysics and geotechnical mapping. Because PowerView seamlessly integrates and extends the technical capabilities of three traditionally separate G&G software tools, it minimizes the number of different applications needed by exploration asset teams. Unlike other integrated tool sets on the market today, PowerView has been engineered to perform efficiently even on very large data volumes, not just selected subsets.

As a result, PowerView can significantly shorten multidomain workflow cycle times, improve the accuracy of data analysis and interpretation, and achieve a superior understanding of highly complex subsurface environments.

PowerView not only integrates standard functionality from seismic interpretation, geology and geotechnical mapping, but it incorporates a growing range of technological breakthroughs, including concurrent cross-domain views, a “roving” window that computes and co-renders seismic attributes on the fly, a robust horizon auto-tracking algorithm, and a seismic cache option, enabling asset teams to share seismic data in advance and display them immediately during interpretation.
