Intel Investors - The following design win should help a little with Intel's CPU sales - and their server-segment market share. Paul {=====================================} biz.yahoo.com Friday April 27, 2:30 am Eastern Time Press Release CGG Computing Power Leaps Fivefold With Intel Server Clusters PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 2001--CGG announces a massive fivefold increase in its worldwide seismic data processing capacity. The company is investing in over 2,000 CPUs of Linux Intel Server Clusters to offer affordable Full 3D Kirchhoff Pre-Stack Time migration on a routine basis. By running its proprietary state-of-the-art TIKIM (Time Kirchhoff Migration) technology on the Linux Intel Server Cluster platform, seismic data processing will now have an even faster turnaround time and provide a better structural image. Intel Server Clusters are to be installed in CGG's Houston, London, and Massy processing hubs where they will also be used for Prestack Depth Migration applications. True to its reputation for innovative and leadership technology, CGG has made this move to open up new frontiers for exploration projects. Gerard Chambovet, CGG's Senior Executive Vice President, Services, said: ``CGG has always placed considerable importance on responding to the needs of our clients. Although technically desirable, Full 3D Kirchhoff Pre-Stack Time Migration has, until recently, been regarded as too expensive and time consuming to be performed on large 3D volumes. Using CGG's state-of-the-art TIKIM technology coupled with the latest Linux Intel Server Cluster computing platform, these constraints have been overcome. TIKIM has the advantage of being true amplitude and therefore 'AVO-friendly' and allows the interpretation and computation of seismic attributes to be performed in fully migrated space. The result is that CGG's TIKIM technology provides very accurate images of the subsurface thereby improving reservoir management.'' The Compagnie Generale de Geophysique group is a global participant in the oilfield services industry, providing a wide range of seismic data acquisition, processing and reservoir services to clients in the oil and gas exploration and production business. It is also a global manufacturer of geophysical equipment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact: CGG Christophe BARNINI, +33 1 64 47 38 10 E-mail: cbarnini@cgg.com or Laurent DELORME, +44 1737 857 502 E-mail: ldelorme@cgg.com or Investor Relations E-mail: invrel@cgg.com
