Acceleware, Paradigm, NVIDIA and TSA Join Forces at SEG to Make Reverse Time Migration More Affordable
HOUSTON, USA--(Marketwired - Sep 23, 2013) - Acceleware Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AXE) today announced at the 83rd annual meeting and international exposition of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), the availability of a special bundled offering with technologies from Paradigm, NVIDIA and TSA for Reverse Time Migration (RTM). Collectively these vendors are committed to improving access to RTM with a special pricing promotion including software, hardware and integration services, plus an arrangement for customers to test drive their data using this technology.
RTM is an advanced pre-stack depth migration technique used to both image and model the subsurface in areas of complex geologies. As resource exploration moves into more challenging geologies, the RTM technique becomes a vital tool in minimizing financial and environmental risks.
"Paradigm is excited to be a part of this effort to encourage more companies to take up this powerful imaging and modeling technology. We are committed to providing customers leading edge seismic imaging solutions and RTM is a key component of our portfolio," said Duane Dopkin, Executive VP - Technology at Paradigm.
"GPU accelerators help produce superior subsurface images that lead to better drilling decisions, at a rate of 4 to 6 times more throughput and with better energy efficiency than conventional CPU-based clusters," said Paul Holzhauer, Director of Oil and Gas at NVIDIA. "We're working with Acceleware, Paradigm and TSA to help oil and gas customers take full advantage of the benefits of GPU-accelerated RTM processing."
"By facilitating the coming together of several leading vendors for this bundle our objective was to open up RTM to the entire spectrum of interested companies. The collaboration has been designed to provide companies with the chance to try the technology and give them a break on the set up costs," said Geoff Clark, Chief Executive Officer at Acceleware.
The companies are offering customers discounted pricing on RTM software, both for Paradigm Echos RTM and Acceleware AxRTM™ library; NVIDIA and HP are providing a competitively priced, bundled hardware package; and TSA is offering discounted integration services and testing time on its GPU cluster.
