Octaga, Shell Oil and Ormen Lange
The Challenge
The oil company Shell will be the operator for Norway’s biggest gas production field Ormen Lange by October 2007. The field will supply the UK with one third of the country’s total gas demand. Octaga worked with Shell and FMC Technologies to develop a detailed X3D-based simulation for subsea equipment. In the simulator the user can watch operations and procedures from any point of view or follow a guided presentation. The user can at any time switch seamlessly between the two modes
The Solution
Octaga worked with Shell and FMC Technologies to develop a detailed X3D-based simulation for subsea equipment. In the simulator the user can watch operations and procedures from any point of view or follow a guided presentation. The user can at any time switch seamlessly between the two modes. This resulted in a flexible and informative solution. The client had high demands to the level of detail. The Octaga Player makes it possible to render highly detailed geometry combined with advanced animations and interaction. Octaga created a customized user interface which combines text, diagrams, buttons and sliders with 3D graphics using standard X3D components.
