Geotrace releases GeoBrowse 3.2
Software, May  27  2009 (Digital Energy Journal)

- GeoBrowse 3.2, the latest version of Geotrace's geographical integration system (GIS), is now compatible with Google Earth, Virtual Earth, Petrel, Petrosys and Kingdom Suite.

Designed for the hydrocarbon exploration and production industry, GeoBrowse uses a rich geographical display to let users capture, manage and analyze multiple forms of geographically referenced information.

Building on the earlier version’s ability to compile information from Tigress, Finder, OpenWorks Oracle, and other data stores, GeoBrowse 3.2 adds access to Petrosys and SMT’s Kingdom Suite data.

Users can now build map montages, as well as generate reports and comparative assessments by making live queries across these disparate data sources. From the desktop, GeoBrowse gives the user a map-driven access point to see what data is available where across the enterprise without resorting to complex, domain-specific software interfaces and searches.

Users can also locate supporting reports and related information, and open them in their native format (such as PDF, Word, and Excel; and links to popular shared information sites like YouTube or Flickr) via the GeoBrowse window.

The 3.2 release also adds a new data transfer capability for data administrators and key users, who can use the map to select and build projects using bi-directional links between the main databases, or to capture new interpretations and bring the latest results and reports back into the main corporate domain.

Other new functionalities are editing and saving geo-referenced objects as shape files, including saving shape file subsets, for sharing with other GIS systems or quick restoration of selected views.

The new KML file generation capability means that subjects held in the various data stores can now be quickly added to Google Earth and Virtual Earth displays and animated fly-bys. Traditional images can be geo-referenced, allowing them to be added as a scalable backdrop to key maps for greater overall understanding of the regional settings of any given display.
