HueSpace is the only E&P* software Development
toolkit on the market that combines a lightningfast compute framework with state-of-the-art
domain-oriented, multi-dimensional visualization
and intelligent data handling.
Changing the Way E&P Professionals Work
Technology is drastically changing the way we work. At the same time, available software
applications in today’s market lack the ability to stream, compute and an aptitude to visualize
large, complex and cross-domain data.
Our technology was built to tackle these challenges. HueSpace can handle all data streaming,
compression and decompression, and data decomposition - on demand. Applications built with
HueSpace can interact with terabytes of data on standard laptops, and seamlessly scale up to
multi-gpu environments.

Computer Science Challenges Across E&P DOmains
Increasing amounts of data, combined with no more time and resources available, calls for significant improvements in performance and
increased productivity, but also better methods and more analysis.
Growing Data sets
Data Interaction
Visualization
Data sets in E&P are huge and generally multidimensional. Wide or full azimuth seismic surveys
are tens of terabytes and keep growing. Reservoir
simulations now generate multi-billion grids, and
will continue to increase.
Providing immediate feedback to users is crucial.
Geoscientists need to analyze data interactively,
properly test one or hundreds of hypotheses, and
understand all types of subsurface data in context.
This requires real-time generation of data - driven
by the end-users workflows on-demand.
Visualization is important because that is how
geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, reservoir
engineers and analysts think and analyze their data:
Visually.
HueSpace easily handles:
- Huge, multi-dimensional data sets and data types
- Oil field asset life cycle well and production data
With HueSpace, you can:
- Test hundreds of hypotheses on-the-fly
- Drastically reduce the time to complete workflows
- Reach valuable conclusions faster
HueSpace provides:
- State-of-the-art visualization of practically all E&P data
types with unique quality and blending operations
- Real-time visualization of data generated on-demand

Benefits of using
HueSpace for
E&P application
development
You can extend your existing E&P applications with HueSpace and
leverage the advantages of HueSpace, or develop a framework/
application from scratch in a pure HueSpace environment. By employing
HueSpace, users get the benefit of the industry’s best visualization with
immediate feedback. Developers get the benefit of being able to reduce
development time and deliver products that meet the needs of users
today and in the future faster than before.
Out-of-the-box, state-of-the-art domain specific visualization of
- Seismic data (prestack, poststack, velocities, attributes, etc)
- Interpretation data (horizons, faults, structural models, etc)
- Geologic models
- Reservoir models (fully unstructured)
- Well data
Additionally, a full API is available for custom visualizations.
Computation
Accelerated Compute Framework based on Direct Acyclic Graph
Model.
A unique plugin system allows researchers and developers to plug in
geoscience algorithms and execute these on CPUs and GPUs in parallel.
HueSpace handles data management, domain decomposition and
partitioning. Computations can be entirely interactive, driven by the
visualization, or used for batch execution. Supports highly complex
compute chains of hundreds of algorithms.
Data Management
Wide support for E&P data out-of-the-box:
- Seismic
- Models
- Well data
I/O available:
- File importers and exporters
- In-memory
- Custom implementations / extensions

E&P BENEFITS
- Use the industry’s best and most interactive visualization out-of-the-box
- No need to have developers spend time on low-level OpenGL shader
code. HueSpace provides a high-level API to give developers full control
of rendering
How is HueSpace
E&P BENEFITS
- Out-of-the-box support for execution across multi-CPU and multi-GPUs
provides the industry’s by far best experience for scalability
- Full interactivity even on heavy computations, which no other toolkit
offers
- Excellent language support: C++ (OpenMP), CUDA, Python
E&P BENEFITS
- Data I/O tightly integrated with direct acyclic graph and visualization
only fetches/produces the data which is required for visualization/
computation
- Out-of-core data management with advanced caching logic provides
excellent throughput and the industry’s best scalability (e.g. tens or
hundreds of terabytes)
- Industry’s only toolkit that has real-time (wavelet or RLE) compression/
decompression built into the pipeline. Results in amazing user-experience
as well as significantly increased data throughput
different?
- HueSpace was designed to provide the best possible
end-user experience which encompasses all aspects
of data handling, real-time GPU computations and
visualizations
- The design is a radical step up from legacy ways of
thinking about data, compute and visualization.
- Completely extensible through well-defined, mature
APIs for all aspects of E&P usage
- Higher-level toolkit means researchers and
developers can focus primarily on geoscience and
workflows. The result: rapid prototyping and faster
’go-to-market’ cycles

Geoscientists and engineers working in exploration & production
have a specific purpose with their work. They attempt to achieve
ambitious objectives, and they need software that lets them work
the way they would want to. HueSpace was designed and built for
just that; letting people in the industry work the way they would
like to work.
Software built with HueSpace allows users to work faster, get immediate visual
response to what they do, and have their computers perform work for them interactively and in the background.
Since HueSpace employs smart technologies - such as only fetching the data
that is required for visualization or computations; or computing only what is
required to be computed; or maintaining information of the compute chains
that lead to the end results on the screen - users can focus on their work as
opposed to how to operate their software.
Developers and researchers that rely on HueSpace to turn geoscience
innovation into production code get the benefit of the industry’s most smart
and powerful visualization and accelerated compute engine. That is how we
help you make your innovative geoscience available in ways that your users
will love.

Processing & Imaging
Full-azimuthal land- and offshore surveys are estimated to increase by
an order of magnitude, resulting in surveys that most current QC and
interpretation packages are not designed to handle.
HueSpace is already used in internal and commercial products that routinely
handle tens of terabyte sized surveys for QC, complex model building and
analysis. HueSpace is the safe and future-proof choice.
Interpretation & Modelling
Although interpretation and modelling workflows are generally less dataintensive than processing & imaging, these workflows are interactionintensive, data-driven and 100% visual. Real-time attribute computations
and instant visual feedback creates the potential for entirely different
workflows that put the control firmly in the geoscientists’ hands. Commercial
applications that utilize HueSpace have proven to result in 10-20x
productivity improvements (as benchmarked by a leading vendor in the
industry).
Reservoir Engineering &
Production optimization
HueSpace already provides the industry’s fastest hundred+ million cell
unstructured grid visualization technology, but innovation doesn’t end here.
Full life-cycle modelling and stochastic simulation of assets further drive the
need to rethink the tools that users need. As reservoir simulations approach
geologic scale, the reservoir engineering domain will require software tools
that are fundamentally different from today’s products.
