Golden Software, a developer of affordable 2D and 3D scientific modeling packages, has introduced a powerful new drillhole mapping tool that allows users to visualize in 3D the location and subsurface route of underground wells. The drillhole feature is one of several new capabilities in the latest release of Surfer that enhances the user’s ability to model, display and analyze subsurface data.
“The new drillhole functionality will be cheered by geologists, hydrologists, environmental scientists, and other Surfer users who need to analyze subsurface data associated with any type of well, borehole, or drillhole,” Kari Dickenson, Surfer Product Manager was quoted as saying.
The Surfer package is used by more than 100,000 people worldwide, many involved in oil & gas exploration, environmental consulting, mining, engineering, and geospatial projects. Known for its fast and powerful contouring algorithms that regularly outperform more expensive packages, Surfer enables users to model data sets, apply an array of advanced analytics tools, and graphically communicate the results in ways anyone can understand. The software has been applied for more than 30 years by users in numerous disciplines to easily visualize and interpret complex data sets.
