Overview

The Base Module contains Earth Decision Suite workflow foundations. All workflows present in the application modules (seismic, geology and reservoir called "applets") share the same Earth Model maintained in this Base Module. The Base module provides the shared canvas for all application modules and environment. The integration simplifies the learning process and insures data integrity across applications therefore eliminating the information loss that always occurs between different applications. In addition to providing the Shared Earth vision, the Base Module is used for rapid generation of reliable structural models for preliminary analysis. Using Earth Decision's intuitive structural modeling workflow facilitates the import and export of data, the generation of 2D maps and cross sections. Using Earth Decision's structural modeling workflow, the easy construction of accurate fault geometries, automatic fault-fault and fault-horizon contacts. The Base Module enables cost-effective analysis of seismic data and supports the case for additional data acquisition and/or prospect leasing.

Key component - features of the base model include 3D Viewer; Log Display, Cross Section and Map Views; and Structural Framework Builder. The module's key benefits include significant cost and time savings, added value and improved exploration success.

As the foundation of the Earth Decision Suite, all other modules are integrated with the Base Module as module "plug-ins." Tight integration between the modules goes beyond mere interfaces and instead operates with total data interoperability. This insures data quality and accuracy when moving from application to application. As a user, once the Earth Decision Suite is opened, all modules are presented in the same window for seamless interaction between modules. 

A common workflow between the modules guides both the inexperienced user as well as the power user through the path of interpretation. Simple interpretations or complex interpretations are both easily navigated.
