Geoscience work environments are a combination of systems, applications, data, people and processes. As the technical and business environment changes, so to does the effectiveness of the components of a geoscience organization. A goal of many companies is to integrate these parts as effectively as possible in order to increase productivity while balancing the effort required for maintaining the environment.

The GeoComputing Group has significant experience working in Exploration and Production computing environments and takes a practical approach to evaluating, implementing, and sustaining a number of technologies. We have developed the methodology, tools, and processes to aid companies in the following areas of their geoscience environment:
