Reservoir Simulation Using CMG*- IMEX

IMEX (IMplicit-EXplicit Black Oil Simulator), CMG's full featured Black Oil simulator, models the flow of three phase fluids in gas, gas-water, oil-water, and oil-water-gas reservoirs. It models in one, two, or three dimensions, including complex heterogeneous faulted structures. IMEX models multiple PVT and equilibrium regions as well as multiple rock types and has flexible relative permeability choices. Regardless of the size or complexity of your reservoir problem, IMEX is an effective tool for a broad range of reservoir management issues. Result is the geometric mean of five workloads (mx261x209x10loa2, mx1041x105x10loa2, mx1041x105x10loa2, mx2081x105x10loa2, mx4161x105x10loa2)

Seismic Simulation using Paradigm GeoDepth* EPOS*41

GeoDepth* is a fully-integrated system for 2D/3D velocity model building and seismic imaging. It enables the construction of a variety of 3D velocity/depth model types, from pre-processed, pre-stack marine/land seismic data.

The Common Shot Full Wave Migration (CSFWMig) is a methodology that provides high-resolution imaging and reconstruction of seismic reflectivity in areas where complex wave-propagation occurs and is the preferred solution when irregular acquisition geometries are needed.

The Common Reflection Angle Migration (CRAM) is a new methodology that provides high-resolution imaging and reconstruction of seismic reflectivities with unprecedented fidelity, even in the most complex geographic areas.

Product and Performance Information

open

1. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.


2. Relative performance for each benchmark is calculated by taking the actual benchmark result for the first platform tested and assigning it a value of 1.0 as a baseline. Relative performance for the remaining platforms tested was calculated by dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.


3. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology: See the Processor Spec Finder at http://ark.intel.com or contact your Intel representative for more information.


4. Requires a system with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. Intel Turbo Boost Technology and Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 are only available on select Intel® processors. Consult your PC manufacturer. Performance varies depending on hardware, software, and system configuration. For more information, visit www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/turbo-boost/turbo-boost-technology.html.


5. Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) requires a computer system with a processor supporting Intel HT Technology and an Intel HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software used. For more information including details on which processors support Intel HT Technology, visit www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/hyper-threading/hyper-threading-technology.html.


6. Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html for details.


7. Intel® products are not intended for use in medical, life-saving, life-sustaining, critical control, or safety systems, or in nuclear facility applications. All dates and products specified are for planning purposes only and are subject to change without notice.
