Oil and gas companies are using stream computing to process even more data in shorter periods of time to improve oil and gas prospection, exploration, development and production.
HPC optimization enables oil and gas companies to drastically accelerate seismic data modeling.
The extraordinary challenge the oil exploration must face requires the development of leading edge high performance computing technologies.
Seismic reflection imaging, the fundamental basis of oil exploration, is definitely worth investing in significantly, considered the increase of drilling costs. Today, new seismic processing capabilities are helping geoscientists to better model subsurface structure and then identify hydrocarbon resources. They are playing a crucial role in keeping Oil & Gas companies ahead in successfully finding new oil deposits.
Over the last 20 years, huge progress has been made in depth imaging techniques, taking advantage from the High Performance Computing revolution. Seismic Depth Imaging and High Performance Computing are definitely both linked…
