Subject:	Progress Report on ACTI project:
			Advanced Flux Visualization ....
Date:		30 Oct 1995

Progress: Technical

	Mark Lederer from BP and I met here at LBNL to discuss new
	visualization techniques.  These new techniques will make use
	of both flux data, along with scalar simulation data.  The goal
	of these new techniques will be to quickly identify areas in	
	the field which have the potential to be produced, but that 	
	aren't swept during a water flood.

	BP generated another dataset from a new simulation run and delivered
	this to me.  I will be travelling to Houston next week to discuss
	the results with both BP and Western.

	BP and Western have agreed, between themselves, on staffing 
	arrangements to facilitate more progress on the implementation of
	the LBNL flux visualization prototypes.  All parties desire to see
	some subset of the LBNL prototypes ported and released in the
	January 1996 time frame.

	The virtual reality magnetic trackers were brought online and
	prototype code was developed which interface these devices into
	AVS.  Using a hand-held tracker, we can rotate, translate, etc.
	the entire reservoir model, the virtual well for streamlines
	computation, and so forth.

Progress: Administrative

	LBNL Director Shank signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 
	27 October 1995.  This agreement will be sent to the partners
	for their review.


Plans for Next Month

	Continue working on the tracker code, integrate the Head Mounted
	Display into the working environment.  Develop a visualization
	prototype which creates geometric icons which are a function of
	both flux and some other scalar, such as Saturation of Mobilized
	Oil.	


Problem Areas

	None.
