Abstract: Use of Previous HitInteractiveNext Hit Computer Graphics for Exploration

Willis H. Alderman

The use of the Previous HitinteractiveNext Hit computer terminal for generation of graphic displays is becoming one of the most potentially powerful and interesting newer tools available to the explorationist.

Integrated, user-oriented digital data files are of utmost importance to the oil and gas explorationist. The files must be organized, indexed, cross-referenced and identified more precisely than any other kind of file. The capabilities and usage of an on-line, large computer data base are explained in this paper. Slides show a geologist in a working environment generating maps and cross sections on an Previous HitinteractiveNext Hit terminal Cathode Ray Tube System (CRT).

Computer graphic hardware and software development is progressing at a rapid pace. Many more scientific digital data bases are becoming available. The future looks bright for Previous HitinteractiveTop computer graphics.
