Background
This application has been built to illustrate the capabilities and functionality of the Subsurface Portal for ArcGIS. All data has been exported from Petrel using the GIS Data Link plugin and then published through ArcGIS Server using the Subsurface Server. The seismic data is streamed directly from ZGY without any duplication of data. The application itself has been built using Web AppBuilder and the Subsurface Viewer Widget.

Click one of the arrows on each side of the sliders to step one inline/crossline/timeslice at a time.
