CGG GeoSoftware and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are extending their collaboration in the global E&P industry to China.
CGG GeoSoftware and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are extending their collaboration in the global E&P industry to China.
GeoSoftware 11.0, CGG’s recently launched portfolio of reservoir characterization and petrophysical interpretation software solutions, is now available on AWS China (Ningxia) region for the Chinese E&P industry.
To resolve common reservoir modelling challenges in China, owing to complex geology, thin layers, and strong heterogeneity within reservoirs, greater accuracy is needed in estimating uncertainty to reduce risk, said CGG.
Jason RockMod geostatistical seismic inversion within GeoSoftware 11.0 is designed to address these challenges by providing highly detailed reservoir characterization to produce more accurate reservoir models.
‘By combining Jason inversion technology with the ability to scale and access vast computing resources it is possible to explore more modelling scenarios with greater complexity and simultaneously generate dozens to hundreds of realizations from geostatistical seismic inversion,’ said CGG in a statement. ‘New cloud-supported Jason Multi-Realization functionality benefits E&P companies by cost-effectively shortening project cycle time significantly and providing additional geostatistical seismic inversion results to improve reservoir characterization and risk assessment. AWS offers elastic and scalable cloud infrastructure to run these applications, enabling geoscientists, engineers and researchers to innovate beyond the limitations of on-premises infrastructure.’
The company added: ‘CGG GeoSoftware China provides a cloud-native, serverless, scalable solution to solve geostatistical reservoir characterization challenges on the AWS cloud platform. Multiple flexible cloud computing services serve as building blocks for even the most demanding compute-intensive reservoir characterization applications.
NWCD is operating for AWS in China’s Ningxia region while Sinnet is operating for AWS in China’s Beijing region.
