The PGS M/V Ramform Sterling will survey the mid Cretaceous Diomedia fan complex within the southern area licences, covering a minimum area of 4.000 square kilometers, a task likely to take approximately the four months of the austral summer, said the company in a Wednesday release. The original plan was that the Diomedia survey would be acquired later in 2013. However, due to the late completion of the Scotia well, there has been insufficient time to allow the Scotia results to influence the exact location and design of the 3D survey. Read More

Spatial Corp, the leading provider of 3D development components for design, manufacturing and engineering applications, and the Open Design Alliance (ODA) today announced the addition of ODA as an Integrated Partner in the Spatial Industry Partner Program. The Spatial Industry Partner Program offers a unique opportunity for developers of complementary software components and related service providers to better serve their customer base. Read More

The committed work program for the Parta Permit requires the acquisition of 2D and 3D seismic and the drilling of two exploration wells. ADX holds 50% of the license and is the operator. A contract for acquisition and processing of 2D and 3D seismic has already been signed between ADX and the Romanian company S.C. PROSPECTIUNI SA.  Geophysical operations will commence within a fortnight. Depending on weather all seismic acquisition could be completed by Q2 2013 which would allow the first exploration well to be drilled in late Q3 2013 the earliest. Read More

Invensys Operations Management implemented an operator-training simulator for the U.S. Department of Energy using SimSci-Esscor EYESIM virtual reality training solution. Designed for use within integrated gasification combined cycle power plants with carbon capture, and implemented at the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s Advanced Virtual Energy Simulation Training and Research Center in Morgantown, W.Va., the EYESIM solution uses 3-D virtual reality simulation to help train power plant control room and field operators. Wearing a stereoscopic headset, IGCC field operators are immersed in a virtual environment with the ability to move throughout the plant, coordinating their activities with control room operators and interacting as if they were in the actual facility.

The company shares in a statment that the revamped 3D home theatre range offers consumers an ideal choice whatever their needs or budgets may be. The Epson EH-TW6100 and EH-TW8100 replace the older Epson EH-TW6000 and EH-TW8000 respectively. Both are full HD 1080P capable and feature Epson's unique 480 hertz frame refresh rate that is twice as fast other 3D projectors; it helps minimise the “blackout time” between 3D images. Read More

Neuron, the European Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle demonstrator, has completed its first flight in French Istres achieving a major milestone in the Neuron programme, where defence and security company Saab has played a critical role in the design, development and production. Now more flight testing will follow. The Neuron is expected to fly in Sweden in 2014. Read More

The study is the largest 3D seismic study in the Black Sea and covers approximately 6,000 square kilometers in the deep-water area of the Neptun block in the Romanian sector of the Black Sea, OMV Petrom, the operator of the seismic program, said. -ExxonMobil and OMV Petrom will use data collected from this seismic program and an earlier seismic program in 2009 and 2010 to further assess the commercial and technical feasibility of the Domino gas discovery announced earlier this year. Read More
