Abstract
The technology behind unconventional resource assessment and extraction has morphed considerably in the past few years, likely exacerbated by the extreme downturn in the oil and gas industry and everyone's fight for survival. Those of us who were around during the downturn in the 1980s remember a similar sense of desperation that led to the widespread use of 3D data, along with the commensurate advancement of processing techniques that could handle massive amounts of data as well as the evolution of 3D visualization and interpretation.
