This IT Executive Briefing is
based on the Appro’s Executive IT Geoscience’s
Seminar held October 2006, in New Orleans. This document
discusses the Analytical Needs of Exploration Geophysics.
It also discusses how to address those needs by applying
High Performance computing capabilities to the particular
issues of seismic processing, enhanced oil recovery
(EOR), and large, complex reservoirs.
In the Geoscience's market,
currently there are two major issues and challenges:
· Reducing decision cycle times
· Reducing decision risk
Intel®, along with APPRO, LLNL, Schlumberger, Landmark,
Paradigm, and a host of other companies, works with
a client company's proprietary software to increase
processing power, memory capacity and bandwidth capabilities
to address these major issues in exploration geophysics.
This is a summary of
contents from speakers who joined us in this Executive
IT Seminar to discuss key topics in the industry
today:
· Intel: HPC Platforms and Next Generation
HPC: Petascale for Oil and Gas Market
· Appro: HPC Solutions for Oil and Gas Industry
· Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory:
HPC Applications for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
