Abstract :
This paper shows the application of the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) in petroleum industry simulations. The research already accomplished by GRVa/LAMCE (Applied Virtual Reality Group of the Computational Methods Laboratory in Engineering) is shown, ratifying the utilization as an important tool in several areas where Web utilization is available. Also VR concepts, advantages and applicability, besides a set of solutions/applications already developed specifically for the petroleum industry in a collaborative environment are shown
