Background OpenOutcrop was developed to fill a need for a robust, easy to use and comprehensive interpretation system for outcrop data. OpenOutcrop accepts Wavefront obj and Stanford ply 3D models. It features full export capabilities to Petrel™. OpenOutcrop has been designed to be used primarily by geoscientists, particularly geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers and sedimentologists. If you’ve never used OpenOutcrop before we recommend that you read the sections on getting started, using the tree view and basic navigation (links on the left hand side of this page). OpenOutcrop was developed for ANLEC by Teraterra Pty Ltd in 2021. We plan to release an open source version sometime later this year if there is sufficient demand from the developer community.
