An industry leading seismic to simulation software application's original design required the data manager to deal with any information relating to coordinate reference systems (CRS). Which meant that the application was essentially coordinate system unaware, this limited the ability of the software to perform coordinate conversion and allowed for potential inconsistencies if the data was not managed properly.

In an effort to provide a more consistent and functional seismic to simulation software application that was better suited for an internally managed CRS systems; our development team implemented a geospatial aware application. Retrofitting this into an existing application introduced a number of technical challenges. By overcoming these challenges the seismic to simulation software application provides the industry with geospatial support with the newest technology, capable of coordinate conversion of data position for implementing and with a the best possible understanding of future industry needs.
