Integration and Vizualisation of 3D Petroleum Data in ArcScene
Track: Petroleum
Author(s): Alistair Ford

This paper describes the use of ArcGIS and the 3D Analyst extension for the integration of numerous petroleum datasets as part of research undertaken by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, on behalf of Shell International Exploration and Production. Integration of datasets from both surface and subsurface application areas is essential to present a complete picture for decision-making, project overviews and data quality assurance processes. This paper will show how this integration is possible using the Esri Geodatabase for true 3D feature storage (using multipatch features) and examine the 3D spatial analysis and visualization tools available within 3D Analyst.
