VolgoUralNIPIgaz: High-Performance, Multi-Core Computing

Case Study: Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series Data Intensive Computing
VolgoUralNIPIgaz models underground reservoirs with parallel hydrodynamic simulator tNavigator* running on the Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series

Challenges:

• Increased research demands. Support an extended list of research topics, including operations planning for complex oil, gas and gas-condensate hydro-sulfide fields
• Advanced 3D simulation. Migrate to a new hardware and software platform that supports the advanced 3D hydrodynamic modeling required by the above

Solutions:

• Multi-core performance. Deployed the tNavigator hydrodynamic simulator from Rock Flow Dynamics running on the latest Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series for optimal performance

Impact:

• Record processing power. Parallel acceleration rates demonstrated by tNavigator for reservoir models of real oil and gas fields climbed to a record high on the Intel Xeon processor 7500 series – up to 21x speedup achieved
• Fit for the future. Meets VolgoUralNIIPIgaz’s requirements both now and for years to come 3D geological and hydrodynamic modeling

3D geological and hydrodynamic modeling for field development planning is based on maximising the hydrocarbon extraction coefficients and overall economic efficiency of operations. Particular emphasis is placed on horizontal drilling, new methods of perforating, recovery, processing, and hydrocarbon material transportation.
