Geomodeling Releases VisualVoxAt™ 6.2 Software - Introducing the Geobody Paintbrush
New features include geobody paintbrush, 3-D visualization of strata-grids with large data sets and simplified deviated well display function, new fault functionality

(San Antonio, Texas - September 24, 2007) -
Geomodeling Technology Corp., a leading innovator in geoscience software for the oil and gas industry, today announced that it has released VisualVoxAt 6.2 software, introducing the geobody paintbrush to add to its robust list of features at the SEG 2007 annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas. VisualVoxAt is integrated software for seismic attribute generation, visualization, calibration, classification, and interpretation.
"VisualVoxAt is commanding attention in the industry," says Murray Christie, Geomodeling’s Chief Operating Officer. "Our geobody paintbrush enables geoscientists to visualize complex geology and interpret stratigraphic volumes with a level of analysis that is not currently seen with competitive software. Our commitment to innovation is key to our software’s success."
Previously, geobodies were not widely used as an interpretation tool because the results had few uses – they were not interactive, and users were slow to adopt new technology. With the geobody paintbrush, users can paint stratigraphic sequences, paint play concepts and geomorphology on time and strata slices, and interpret complex geology. Users can feed volumes of interpreted data into cross-plots, neural networks, and correlations.
Using geobody analysis, it is easy to export the geobody to geological and reservoir modeling packages. Geoscientists can use connectivity analysis; perform volumetric calculations; capture the geometry of geological facies; use background facies trends for property distribution; and find fault, fracture, and permeability barriers.
VisualVoxAt 6.2 has other new features and enhancements including:
- 3-D visualization of strata-grids with large data sets
- increased strata-grid functionality that includes exporting strata-grid attributes to SEG‑Y in the depth domain when a velocity is present
- generating facies maps or volumes by using existing strata-grid attributes and facies volumes
- generating facies maps or volumes based on multiple polygons in cross-plot
- a simplified deviated well display function
- improved plotting function
- new fault functionality, including interpreting the fault on inlines, xlines, time slices, horizon and strata-grid slices in section view, basemap view, and 3-D view in arbitrary order; the user has unlimited redo and undo ability
Availability
Geomodeling's VisualVoxAt 6.2 software will be available in November. Please contact your local Geomodeling representative via the Geomodeling website at www.geomodeling.com or by email at info@geomodeling.com.
Presence at SEG 2007
Geomodeling will be at booth 416 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas from September 23 to 26, 2007. With a play on the hit TV series CSI, Geomodeling’s theme for the event is RSI – Reservoir Scene Investigation. Visitors to the booth can test their skills at being the reservoir scene investigator – and find the secrets in the reservoir. The booth will feature interactive demonstrations, a joint workflow presentation and demonstration with Roxar, and a presentation theatre hosting hourly presentations on hot industry topics such as spectral decomposition, facies classification, cross-plotting, and using and detecting attributes – just to name a few.
