The lack of true 3D functionality is exercising ESRIs oil and gas users-the current 2 1/2D solution isn't up to reservoir model visualization. Pipeline data model wars are back with ESRI's APDM model lending support to the ISAT camp. Finally, a new ESRI Developer Network subscription is now available offering all products and development tools for a modest fee.
