There is an urgent need in the oil and gas industry for companies to become more effective in their core business practices.

To facilitate this kind of business transformation, Landmark Graphics introduced an immersive environment solution - or 'Decisionarium' - called the Dhahran Solution.

By providing data level integration within a complete immersive environment, Landmark's Dhahran Solution enables people from various disciplines to work collaboratively by viewing, interpreting and interacting with the same data, often discovering revenue-saving options which may otherwise have gone unrealised.

The results of using this common visual environment include increased productivity, reduced decision-making cycle time, more accurate interpretation and wellbore planning decisions, and, ultimately, reduced costs associated with expensive deepwater complex projects, according to the company. And because it is available exclusively from Landmark, you can be certain of complete integration with your existing workflows.

Landmark's Decisionarium program brings together the best in industry with the Silicon Graphics Onyx2 InfiniteReality visual supercomputer and Panoram's GVR-120E Briefing Center and GVR-120 VisCenter.

The Dhahran Solution includes all the components (hardware, software, display technology and project management services) required to get your company working in a truly collaborative and 3D environment.

From discovery to divestiture, Landmark claims to be the only company to offer integrated IT solutions for all E&P needs.

The company's Product Support team provides immediate availability to help in using Landmark applications, while the company's technology focuses on improving an organisation's effectiveness, whether for drilling, reservoir optimisation, geophysical and geological technologies.
