Hi everyone
Thank you to all of you who have been taking the VSA for a test drive this
week. Despite the hundred-fold increase in traffic my first posting
generated on the site - it stayed up (I'm glad to say). So we're keeping it
live. In the past few days our partners at CGG Veritas have uploaded a truly
spectacular collection of images especially from the thrust systems in the
deep water Niger delta. Definitely worth a look.
Www.seismicatlas.org
During the test there was a report from one group of users of access
problems - which turned out to be a restriction imposed by their own
firewall. But I'd like to know if anyone else had difficulties with any part
of the site (which will supplement our own analysis of the miss hits). This
will help us make the VSA resource more useful for all.
We'll be putting up some guidance and tips on how to get the most out of the
VSA application - any experiences you'd like to share - please email me.
We're putting up some FAQs shortly.
Second - I hope you enjoyed the surprising results that come from the
image-based searches. For those of you interested - there's a recording of a
Webinar (runs for 50 mins!) we did yesterday on the technology behind the
VSA (URL link is up on the "What's New" tab on the VSA).
If you'd like to find out more please get in contact. The VSA is part of the
exhibition at AAPG in San Antonio in a couple of weeks - booth 2349 - so
please drop by if you're at the meeting. AAPG's wifi-permitting, we could
even put your images up "while you wait". Incidentally, the UK's Tectonic
Studies Group also has a booth at AAPG so why not give that a look too.
Thanks again to all of you who participated in the test drive...
