INT to leverage IBM, Red Hat Open Technologies to Enhance Efficiencies in Oil & Gas Exploration and Drilling Workflows

The latest version of INT’s data visualization platform, IVAAP, integrates with IBM Open Data for Industries, IBM’s hybrid cloud implementation of the Open Group OSDU data.

HOUSTON, TX — April 15, 2021 — INT today announced that IVAAP — a leading enterprise subsurface data visualization platform — integrates with IBM Open Data for Industries for Cloud Pak for Data built on Red Hat OpenShift. These open technologies will enable the upstream industry to visualize exploration and drilling data across hybrid cloud environments to drive efficiencies and speed decision making.

As the oil and gas industry undergoes unparalleled transformation, members of the value chain are seeking solutions to maximize digital opportunities across their operations. Data is a critical asset and when leveraged with artificial intelligence, can yield mission-critical insights and competitive advantage.  However, quite often, domain-specific data exists in silos — limiting workflow efficiencies that leverage data insights for real-time decision-making.

Today’s announcement focuses on open technologies for the IVAAP platform that remove these barriers:

  • IVAAP leverages IBM Open Data for Industries for IBM Cloud Pak for Data, a data platform enabling seamless integration of data sources with the flexibility to deploy across any infrastructure that leverages The Open Group OSDU Forum data standard. The Open Group OSDU Forum is an industry organization that brings together technology leaders, producers and members of the oil and gas value chain to build a data foundation based on data standards making subsurface data easier to find, combine, and use across geoscience workflows.
  • IVAAP integrates with IBM Open Data for Industries for IBM Cloud Pak for Data powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading open source Kubernetes platform. This will enable INT customers to run IVAAP on-premise, unlocking speed and agility for local operations as well as remote locations through the cloud, yet all with one consistent architecture. This provides upstream operators greater value and flexibility for real-time operational decision-making, as well as consistency to the enterprise operations.

“We are extremely excited about the work we are engaging in with The Open Group OSDUTM Forum and our collaboration with IBM. For clients who manage hybrid cloud environments, our goal is to bring the technology to where they need it — in the cloud and in their locally hosted environment.”

— Olivier Lhemann, President of INT.

“Our collaboration with INT enables choice and flexibility in deploying subsurface data visualization across hybrid cloud environments. By leveraging IBM Open Data for Industries for IBM Cloud Pak for Data, INT and the oil and gas community can leverage an enterprise-grade, open-source platform based on the OSDU data foundation, improving access to subsurface data across any infrastructure, including public cloud, local country cloud and on-prem,” says Dariusz Piotrowski, Global Solutions Leader,
IBM Industrial Sector.

IVAAP is a sophisticated domain visualization and analytics platform that provides central access to data regardless of where it is — stored in the cloud and on-premise. Users can access, view, search, visualize, and analyze their subsurface data — wellbore, seismic, schematics, log, and more — in a web browser.

About INT:

INT software empowers the largest Oil & Gas (IOC/NOC) and services companies in the world to visualize their complex subsurface data (seismic, well log, reservoir, and schematics in 2D/3D). INT offers a visualization platform (IVAAP) and libraries (GeoToolkit) developers can use with their data ecosystem to deliver subsurface solutions (Exploration, Drilling, Production). INT’s powerful HTML5/JavaScript technology can be used for data aggregation, API services, high-performance visualization of G&G and petrophysical data in a browser. INT simplifies complex subsurface data visualization.

IVAAP Release 2.7: More Map Search and ArcGIS Features

IVAAP™ is a subsurface data visualization platform that provides developers and product owners powerful subsurface visualization features for their digital solutions in the cloud. IVAAP enables users to search, access, display, and analyze 2D/3D G&G and petrophysical data in a single user-friendly dashboard on the web. The latest release of IVAAP 2.7 comes with various new features and significant improvements.

Highlights from this release include many advanced search and map capabilities, improved 3D widget filter dialog, new interval curves support, new date/time picker for Cross-Plot widget axis settings, and more! 

Advanced Mapping Capabilities

IVAAP features support for visual-based data discovery using map-based search, and is fully integrated with ArcGIS (ESRI), allowing for the search of structured and unstructured data in a data lake or any other file repository. IVAAP supports a wide range of map formats and services like ArcGIS, GeoJSON, KML, Mapbox, Bing, WMS, and more.

With the ArcGIS integration, you can easily access all layers and details from your ArcGIS server and display them within IVAAP to enrich map-based search of well, seismic, and other subsurface data.

New features include the ability to display a dynamic metadata table for a selected object in the map (Well, Seismic, etc.). 

Most layers are supported. Image services (ArcGIS Image Service Layer, Image Services Vector Layers, and WMS) and Tile services (Image Service, ArcGIS Tiled Map Service Layer, Web Tiled Layer, OpenStreetMap) are supported. Feature Services include map service (ArcGIS Feature Layer), KML, WFS, and CSV. We also provide some real-time services support like stream services (ArcGIS Stream Layer), GeoRSS, Vector Tiles (VectorTileLayer), and Bing Maps services. Two extra formats that are supported are GeoJSON and GPX.

This release includes improved search capabilities allowing search across any metadata for any user. Access to data can be restricted to read-only mode. We also made improvements to fence highlighting and access to well lists, and labels can now be saved with the dashboard.

More Themes Control 

Previously, theme control within IVAAP was a bit limited. We’ve expanded the theme mechanism to all widgets so that users can customize themes with more control and options and access new updated themes.

New Image Widget 

IVAAP can now display simple image files such as jpeg or png files in the image widget, align, and zoom in to show detail. This feature allows users to customize dashboards with logos or other image files needed to display. 

Improvements in 3D

IVAAP’s 3D widget now supports tagging and aliases when displaying well data. We added reservoir data that can be serialized in the dashboard template. Users now have the ability to mix data with CRS and data without CRS. Another new feature is that users can apply properties to multiple or individual objects. And we’ve improved the dashboard restoration of multiple inlines, crossbones, and time slices. Finally, the 3D widget filter dialog has been redesigned.

New Features in WellLog

For WellLog, we improved the set main index support for templates, dashboards, and well switching. With this improvement, a secondary index can be used to display data into a different index and secondary indexes can be restored when opening an existing dashboard or template. An improved automatic logarithmic mode gives users the ability to add a curve to a logarithmic track. New features added to WellLog include: the ability to automatically rotate labels for lithology and a reset action where users can right-click with the option to clear their display.

New in Schematics

For the Schematics package, new features include: perforation with state definition support, the ability to customize by using a filter dialog, and the ability to use cursor tracking between Schematics and WellLog. We also improved the component selection support in the Schematics widget.

Time Series: Annotations and Perforations 

We improved the ability to select a data series from the legend. The Time Series widget now features support for annotations and perforations. The tooltip now shows the index data and time.

New and Improved Line Chart

The IVAAP line chart now supports templates and data series dialog. We improved the ability to edit existing data series. Users can now flip the axis for date and time data, and the legend has been improved to show or hide the data series parent. There is also an improvement for single data sets, multi-data sets, and multi parent projects.
