Accessing content related to the exploration and production of geologic resources in a thin client computer network

A system for accessing content generated by a securely hosted application program for the exploration and production of geologic resources in a thin client/server computer network, comprising:

• a first server computer comprising a memory device for storing executable program code and a processor, wherein the processor is functionally coupled to the memory device and responsive to computer-executable instructions contained in the program code, wherein the processor is operative to:
• direct, to at least one designated application server, a requested command to execute an application program selected via the client system, utilizing a program module on the at least one designated application server, wherein the program module is controlled by one of a plurality of separate queues, each of the plurality of separate queues defined by group to control which of a number of applications and related processes are executed on which of a number of application servers in the thin client/server computer network;
• determine, utilizing the program module, a least utilized node in the computer network for executing the application program selected via the client system in the thin client/server computer network;
• and
• execute the selected application program on the least utilized node for access by the client system;
• and
• a second server computer operative to:
• present an interface for accessing the application program;
• and
• receive the selection of the application program;
• and
• a third server computer operative to:
• package images generated by the executed application program into a remote access application server display protocol;
• and
• display the images generated by the executed application program via the remote access application server display protocol on the client system.
