Maximising Profitable Oil and Gas Recovery

Overview The massive processing power of Linux computing clusters is allowing unprecedented improvements to the upstream oil and gas industry. The level of analysis now possible for locating and lifting energy reserves is much greater than the archaic models of the past decade. The model size, speed of completion and the feature-rich software continue to get better, providing superior price performance benefits at a lower overall cost of ownership. HP's Linux ClusterBlocks with HP Integrity servers based on Itanium 2 processors running Schlumberger Information System's (SIS) ECLIPSE Parallel is the state of the art as a low cost cluster delivering unsurpassed performance.
