Strict time limits of petroleum licenses also impose a fixed timeline for exploration, from data acquisition and processing to exploratory drilling and decision-making. Only due to recent advancements in HPC new inversion algorithms and simulation approaches have become feasible, however demanding disruptive software changes to harness the full hardware potential.=0A=0AThis BoF will focus on bringing together the Oil & Gas community to discuss common challenges and solutions going forward to Exascale, besides facilitating international collaboration.
