Seismic Processing at CGG
Jean-Yves BLANC
Chief IT Architect, CGG
Abstract : CGG is a fully integrated Geoscience company providing leading geological, geophysical and reservoir capabilities to its broad base of customers primarily from the global oil and gas industry.
Seismic processing is an activity that requires heavy number crunching capacity and very large storage to handle huge volumes of data. Therefore, Subsurface Imaging business line (SI) manages a heavy high performance computing infrastructure through tens of processing centers, and develops our own seismic processing software, geovation.
This end to end in-house proficiency allows CGG to operate very advanced architectures, extremely well adapted to our activity: from cluster node (very dense, with Intel state of the art floating point capabilities, but also with local storage), through GPU server co-designed with our vendors, up to storage architectures tightly integrated with our software layers to optimize price/performance ratio.
Given the size of our investments, a specific attention was paid to the infrastructure: CGG operates very innovative cooling technologies for its systems, with for instance oil immersion, or evaporative cooling to reach a well recognized level of energy efficiency (one of of United-Kingdom processing centers received an award for unique unique energy efficiency performance).
