4D Creates Recurring Value

Lamont's 4D software offers you an opportunity to catch the technological wave sweeping the petroleum industry. 4D Technology is in the very early stages of market penetration, and exploitation of 3D seismic data warehouses will extract added value from new and old oil fields. This technology promises increased production, efficiency, and profits.

A Growing Market

Seismic technology continues to be the most noted innovation with a major impact on E&P business according to the Salomon Brothers "Survey and Analysis of 1996 Worldwide Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Expenditures" January 2, 1996. The 4D market is expected to grow to $1 to $3 billion per year.

Exclusive Licensing Opportunity

Through the efforts of the prestigious R&D group at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University, the Lamont 4D Software is available for the commercial marketplace. 4D Technology, Inc. is seeking a technology partner for an exclusive software licensing agreement. The combined scientific and business expertise of 4D Technology, Inc. creates a powerful, seasoned team ready to impact the seismic analysis and interpretation industry.

4D can Transform the Oil and Gas Industry

The oil and gas industry is similar to the aerospace industry of 20 years ago, when planes were designed in wind tunnels. Today, aerospace engineers design concept planes on computers, reserving only the final design for testing in wind tunnels before actual construction begins. 4D Technology can transform the oil and gas industry in the same way. What does the future hold? More advances in command and control technology are expected. The next level, real-time reservoir monitoring will further change the economics of oil and gas production, and the value of the industry.

1+1=3 -- Information Sharing

4D encourages the incorporation and sharing of information with the geologist, geophysicist, reservoir, and production engineer. The integration of multiple disciplines unites the team, providing a fuller perspective and total project improvement through the synergy of disciplines.
