CGG Multi-Physics: Imaging Updated

CGG Multi-Physics released an update to its LCT potential ? eld soft- ware suite. Improved capabilities include enhancements to the software’s work? ows and improved ease-of-use.

Critical techniques required for comprehensive geological forward modeling, inversion, and management of potential ? eld data have also been extended and enhanced to rapidly deliver an accurate model of the subsurface, for example the new LightTable module supports and integrates LCT’s existing 3MOD and 2MOD modules for producing realistic geological models. Seamless integration of 2D and 3D gravity and magnetic modeling has never been easier.
