"Our customers have requested choice and flexibility in deploying GeoProbe technology in order to optimize their IT investment while exploring for oil and gas. Last year we delivered GeoProbe on PC/Linux platform to better enable desktop access. We have now extended that access by porting GeoProbe to Sun/Solaris while retaining its hallmark qualities of speed, size and accuracy," said Andy Lane, president and CEO, Landmark Graphics Corp. "Magic Earth remains the innovation leader in volume interpretation and visualization technology and responsive to solving ever changing business needs in finding and developing new petroleum reserves."
"We've enjoyed a long and productive relationship with Landmark Graphics, and we're very pleased to add the Magic Earth visualization technology to the Sun platform. The GeoProbe software is a terrific fit with our visualization and 64-bit computing technology and together Landmark and Sun will bring new value and innovation to the oil and gas market," said Mark Tolliver, executive vice president of Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Not only does this latest release extend GeoProbe's availability to new users through additional platform choices, it also provides capabilities for interactive remote execution, remote collaboration and traditional interpretation methodologies. When using GeoProbe remotely in hosted or client-server configurations, the value of central server resources increases as they are better utilized and easily distributed to any user's desktop. This release also offers the option to share a single session of GeoProbe with multiple users simultaneously, creating unique workflow, visualization and interpretation collaboration options. GeoProbe 3.0 provides the added flexibility to now take advantage of traditional interpretation techniques using the new ManuTrack™ technology. This technology gives users the choice to use the best approach for their interpretation needs whether it is guided analysis using ezTracker™ or manual interpretation using ManuTrack.
