Abstract: |
|
The continuing exponential expansion of high performance computing is being enlisted to complement and steer the increasingly expensive field activities of the petroleum industry. Estimates of the future availability and expense of fossil fuels are functions of advances in discovery and extraction technologies, whose robustness and efficiency are, in part, functions of HPC. Emerging architectures invite redesign of algorithms for models of higher resolution and higher fidelity. This session spotlights innovations in the two the key large-scale applications employed in the upstream industry: seismic inversion and reservoir modeling, and emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary partnering. |
