Virtual fieldtrips for petroleum geoscientists
Posted on 2020-01-14 - 11:10
Significant advances in geosciences data acquisition,
visualization and analysis now allow highly detailed outcrop models to be constructed for a range of
petroleum industry purposes. From a given field locality, a virtual outcrop is created from a
centimetre-scale digital elevation model and colour photographs with geological information
overlaid as appropriate. In a visualization environment, these datasets can be viewed sequentially to
simulate undertaking a fieldtrip. These virtual field trips allow geoscientists to improve and expand the
traditional fieldwork experience in a number of ways, ranging from planning and health and safety
considerations for management, to providing live supplemental technical content on a mobile device to the
fieldtrip participant. The fieldtrips are easily archived and content can be reviewed in the office to
provide analogue information during technical work. Examples of virtual fieldtrips are provided on the
DVD that accompanies this volume.
