Abstract

Laser scanning and photogrammetry techniques have been broadly adopted by Oil&Gas industry for modeling petroleum reservoir analogues. Beyond the benefits of digital data itself, computer systems employed by geoscientists for interpretation and modeling tasks provide high quality rendering, point clouds surface meshes and photo-realistic textured models. But these systems, commonly, have used 2-D display, the 3-D models and information are projected on the screen, providing a limited visualization and restrictive toolset for interpretation. This work proposes to break this paradigm by developing a fully immersive system capable to virtually teleport the geoscientists to the fieldwork and provide a complete toolset for the outcrop's interpretation. Besides, the system has been evaluated and validated by geologists with different skills and it has emerged as an useful and attractive toolset for Oil&Gas industry.

沉浸式虚拟现场工作:石油工业的进展

激光扫描和摄影测量技术已被油气行业广泛应用于油藏模拟建模。除了数字数据本身的好处之外，地球科学家用于解释和建模任务的计算机系统还提供高质量的渲染、点云、表面网格和逼真的纹理模型。但这些系统通常使用二维显示，三维模型和信息投射在屏幕上，提供了有限的可视化和限制性的解释工具集。这项工作建议通过开发一个完全沉浸式的系统来打破这种范式，该系统能够虚拟地将地球科学家传送到现场工作，并为露头解释提供完整的工具集。此外，该系统已由不同技能的地质学家进行了评估和验证，并已成为油气行业有用且有吸引力的工具集。
