Dallas, TX ... Landmark Graphics Corporation, a wholly owned business unit of Halliburton, has announced the release of SeisSpace(tm), a new seismic processing platform for distributed network computing in the Landmark R2003 environment. SeisSpace optimizes parallel processing performance on Linux clusters by providing highly scalable trace processing efficiency for large seismic volumes. Included in this product release is a new prestack time migration algorithm, the first of many applications designed to optimize performance in the innovative parallel processing infrastructure offered by SeisSpace.

"E&P companies are continuously being challenged to improve their finding efficiency in the face of more complex reservoir targets," said Andy Lane, Landmark's president and CEO. "Landmark continues to focus on driving innovation in seismic processing to discover and delineate hydrocarbon prospects faster and at lower costs." Landmark customers currently using ProMAX(tm), the industry's most widely used commercial seismic processing system, should notice a dramatic improvement in data throughput by executing hybrid ProMAX flows within the SeisSpace parallel input/output environment. In addition, new user-interface features offer increased productivity by providing convenient access to multiple project data stores and multiple processing servers.

"Landmark's SeisSpace processing platform was designed to leverage emerging technologies and efficiently process large seismic volumes," said John Sherman, executive vice president of marketing and systems. "Our customers can achieve supercomputer processing performance at the favorable price/performance ratio offered by Linux clusters."
