挑战
Earth Signal Processing 是地震数据处理领域的全球领导者,它面临着一项挑战。其石油和天然气行业的客户需要尽快获得 2D 和 3D 地震程序的结果,以便就土地购买和钻井位置做出明智的决策。然而,Earth Signal 受到其数据中心在占地面积和机架空间方面的物理限制。他们需要提高数据处理能力以满足客户的需求。该公司还面临着降低成本的压力,这意味着他们需要找到一种能够在现有基础设施中最大化核心和线程数量的解决方案。
关于客户
Earth Signal Processing 是地震数据处理领域的全球领导者。该公司成立于 1993 年,帮助石油和天然气行业的客户更快、更详细地处理数据,以寻找新的盈利机会。该公司专门解释地震数据以构建地下模型。除了最大的勘探公司外,所有公司都聘请 Earth Signal 等合作伙伴执行 2D 和 3D 地震程序,并将结果处理成地质学家可以解释的形式。该公司总部位于卡尔加里,以其高度优化的基于 Linux 的软件而闻名。
解决方案
Earth Signal 决定部署 IBM Power Systems S822L 服务器,该服务器配备运行 Linux 的 IBM POWER8 CPU。该解决方案使他们能够在数据中心的物理限制内最大化核心和线程数量。该公司还进行了测试,结果表明 2U IBM Power Systems 解决方案可以在 60 小时内完成一项工作,而基于 21U Xeon 处理器的选项则需要 100 个小时,并且仅使用 40% 的电能。Earth Signal 目前正在部署另外两台运行 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 的 Power Systems S822L 服务器,每台服务器还配备两个 12 核 POWER8 处理器,运行频率为 3.01 GHz,每个核心最多提供 8 个线程。

Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
