UK's BP Selects Mechdyne to Support HIVE
MARSHALLTOWN,
IA, Sep 23, 2008 - Mechdyne Corporation today announced that it has been
selected by BP to provide service for advanced visualization centers that BP
operates to support its exploration and production teams.
BP contracted with Mechdyne as a single point of service for its highly
immersive visualization environment (HIVE) facilities which are used for
review and analysis of oil and gas formations based on stereoscopic display
of seismic data and computer modeling simulations. BP has established HIVE
facilities globally including countries such as Norway, Jakarta, Trinidad
and the UK.
The HIVE facilities typically include a large, curved display wall and
three stereo projectors tied into BP modeling and simulation computer
systems. Due to advances in technology and the global footprint of these
systems, the specific projection systems and integration details for each
HIVE varies between locations. Mechdyne’s demonstrated ability to work with
the full range of technologies installed by BP was an important factor in
the selection.
“Mechdyne created its dedicated technical services group to provide
world-class support that leverages more than a decade of experience in the
design and installation of visualization centers,” said Matthew McKaig,
Mechdyne Service Manager. “From legacy systems based on CRT technology to
state-of-the-art digital projection, we draw on a knowledge base that spans
the evolution of visualization in a wide range of applications.”
Other criteria contributing to Mechdyne’s selection were the ability to
provide system training, the availability of a global service team that
could operate across 20 time zones, and provision of a client accessible
database for tracking installed equipment service records across all of the
HIVE facilities it supports.
