The key to Texaco's success has come from its integration of advanced technologies, including 3D seismic data, visualization, computer-aided design, and the World Wide Web. Despite geographical boundaries and data complexity, Texaco's internal network or intranet facilitates strong collaboration which, in turn, breeds richer ideas and the ultimate concept of "corporate visualization." For example, everyone in the company has access to the data that the Integrated Reservoir Information and Visualization (IRIV) group generates. In Texaco's model, one innovation cannot be effective unless it can also be universally shared throughout the company.
