INT
J/GeoToolkit Chosen to Build Stratigraphic Interpretation Program for
Geo-Logic Systems
Houston,
TX (February 26, 2002):
INT J/GeoToolkit has been chosen by Geo-Logic Systems, LLC (GLS) to
construct the commercial release of LithoTect, a structural and stratigraphic
interpretation program. Built around INT's latest graphics toolkit components,
LithoTect is designed to create and validate geological interpretations
through restoration and balancing. The LithoTect model construction
tools include a complete suite of dip-constrained and general map, profile,
well, and seismic interpretation methods. Its depth conversion, well
monitoring, and data projection capabilities are state-of-the-art. The
structural restoration/forward modeling techniques include decompaction/isostasy
and operate on both interpretations and seismic data - a unique breakthrough
in geological analysis. Major emphasis has been placed on making LithoTect
easy to learn and use by all geoscientists. Because it is written in
pure Java, LithoTect runs on laptops and workstations of all types.
"Our
components are a natural fit for GLS," according to INT president Olivier
Lhemann. "This group brings 18 consecutive years of industry expertise, a
proven strategy for managing geological complexity, and a strong reputation in
the marketplace. LithoTect illustrates the ability to build a complete, sophisticated,
user-oriented application interface around INT graphics toolkits."
"For
dealing with the real complexities of geological interpretation, or 'uncomplicating
the complicated', LithoTect is the right budget-saving tool," said GLS president
Jim Geiser. Bob Ratliff, GLS director of product development, added "The
seamless integration of INT software has allowed us to concentrate on the algorithmic
and ease-of-use aspects, bringing the dramatic new capabilities of LithoTect's
advanced architecture to market in a remarkably short time."
Demonstrations
of LithoTect can be seen in the Geo-Logic Systems booth (#1366) during the March
10-13, 2002 AAPG Annual Convention and Exhibition, Houston, Texas.
About Geo-Logic
Systems:
Geo-Logic
Systems, Inc. was started in 1983 to create the first computerized structural
restoration program. Reformed as Geo-Logic Systems, LLC in 1998 and
based in Boulder, Colorado, the GLS mission is to carry on pioneering
work in applications of structural geology to petroleum and minerals
exploration and production. The earth modeling application framework
of LithoTect-called EMAF-is designed to help both the individual specialist
and the asset team transform raw data into the geological knowledge
from which reasonable reservoir risk can be derived. EMAF is based on
an open, collaborative computing architecture, permitting the addition
of analysis modules provided by other vendors as well as customers.
GLS is on the Internet at www.geologicsystems.com.
