Problem:
Democratization of exascale HPC for georesources exploration in a high-tech society
Solution:
The technologies are developed for very economically intensive businesses, such as hydrocarbon exploration. These technologies are nowadays becoming more affordable due to the increase in computing capacity of current computer clusters and can start to be applied to less intensive fields such as geothermal exploration, geologic carbon storage, or groundwater reservoirs exploration.
Aplication areas:
Geothermal energy, oil, geological carbon storage, groundwater reservoirs
Novelty:
We take full advantage of the best imaging strategies and exascale HPC algorithms for the subsurface exploration, thus mitigating future risks related to exploitation
Protection:
Industrial secret/open source, depending on application.
Target market:
Mostly industrial partners and R&D centers. Our goal is to bring our products closer to real environments.
