At the EAGE 2004 show in Paris, Paradigm, the premier provider of advanced petroleum geoscience and drilling technology to the oil and gas exploration and production industry, will be presenting the many productivity innovations offered in its new Synchronized Release, running on the epos 3.0 data management and interoperability integration framework. The epos 3.0 release, currently shipping to Paradigm offices worldwide, offers significant productivity enhancements through comprehensive data and product integration, and visualization in one unified 3D canvas. All of the demos at the Paradigm booth will run on the epos 3.0 integration framework, which enables users to easily perform entire E&P workflows in a single environment. Of particular interest is the epos-enabled eXtra Value product line, which goes beyond volume-based interpretation and offers new workflow efficiencies in a fully 3D environment. Multi- disciplinary workflows will be featured, showing the seamless integration between Paradigm's entire line of processing and imaging, interpretation and visualization, reservoir characterization, petrophysics and well planning solutions. The Paradigm Services Group, one of the world's leading geoscience services providers following its acquisition of the Reservoir Technologies Division of Core Labs, will have its own corner of the booth, where it will present Case Studies that highlight some of its global E&P successes. The Paradigm demos will run on Linux(R)-based machines, with visualization demonstrations running on a 64-bit Linux workstation. As part of Paradigm's ongoing collaboration with leading hardware providers, including SGI(R), Sun(R), HP(R) and IBM(R), Paradigm epos 3.0-based products are available on a broad range of high-performance, shared and distributed memory computing platforms, integrating leading-edge, 64-bit CPUs, such as Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 and AMD Opteron(TM). Steve Hunt, Managing Director of Paradigm EAME, said, "We are very excited about this year's EAGE, since our comprehensive epos 3.0-based package is on its way to our regional offices, and all of the solutions being shown at the booth are available now to our customers. We have much to offer, both through our comprehensive workflow integration and the many productivity-enhancing add-on modules included in the epos 3.0 release, which are unmatched in the industry. Visitors to our demos will easily understand the exciting implications of these developments on their personal productivity." Customers and colleagues are invited to visit the Paradigm booth (#412) throughout the show, which runs from June 7-10.
