Proposed Directions 2-D GIS

• Wizards
• Gridding (deterministic probabilistic)
• Sandwich 2D/3D
• Large-Format Mapping
• New analytic charts reports
• Collective HLT
• Engineering Land
• Specialized exporters/importers
• New data

2-D Seismic in 3-D GIS

• 2-D section TIFs nav. lines in 3-D GOM3
• Provide released MMS TIF sections
• 2-D sections nav. directly from SEG-Y
• Allows adding proprietary seismic
• Integrate GXTs GULFSPAN (Phase I)
• Images SEG-Y

Proposed Directions in 3-D

• Refining 2-D SEG-Y capability
• Log LAS integation
• Viewing
• Analytic
• Regional 3-D GIS
• 3-D field facilities network integration
• More 3rd Party data in 3-D
• High-Resolution Field-Level 3-D GIS (VIPER)

17
Directions in 3rd Party Program

• Deeper technical integration with existing
  partners
• GeoMark
• ESA in Houston VIPER project
• DrillingInfo
• Subset of GOM3 data through DI-Offshore
• Depth-register well logs/heading data
• GOM3-technology for onshore DI data
• Identify 1 2 more technical in 2007

18
Business Directions

• ESA in Houston
• ESA Intergalactic HQ moving
• Proposed Cooperation w/TeachMeGIS
• Change in 2007 Update Price 17,500
• Managerial evolution
