Geology - software


Expert: George Ardies - 10/18/2009

Question
Sir as you know oil/gas companies use heavy and costly softwares for their production, and as well as they appoint experts to use these softwares, so is it possible for a home user to learn theses softwares at home ?

Answer
Absolutely. However, usually the software cost thousands of dollars, so it is difficult for most people to be able to afford the software. Some systems cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. The cheapest ones are a few thousand dollars per year. All costs are in US dollars.
Hope this helps,
George
