Today we are highlighting our industry-led, research consortium focused on delivering software and methods that make the use of advanced geophysics a day-to-day, practical reality for industry.
”It is a significant innovation in how industry can approach pre-competitive technology development. Industry uptake of academic research tends to be slower than it should be because, even though university-industry partnerships exist, it is difficult for academics to focus on their essential function of research advancement and education while simultaneously providing industry with the robust software environment, documentation, and support required for day-to-day practical use.
John McGaughey, PhD, President at Mira Geoscience
From 2012 to its completion in 2019, the University of British Columbia Geophysical Inversion Facility (UBC-GIF) ran a successful industry-sponsored R&D project to create GIFtools, providing an extensive system of user interfaces to set up, execute, and interpret the results of the advanced geophysical forward modelling and inversion codes developed at UBC-GIF.
”As a company, we are committed to interoperability, because the barriers to it imposed by proprietary software vendors serve neither the interests of technology advancement nor the customers who just need to get things done. — John McGaughey
In the spirit of continuing the effort to make advanced geophysics accessible to everyday practitioners, Mira Geoscience created a commercially-supported version of GIFtools that could be run from Geoscience ANALYST.
The resulting product was Geoscience ANALYST Pro Geophysics.
