Speeding Things Up With Segyio

Imagine you need to apply a certain function onto your seg-y file. If you want, you can even have a go at the tool from within the Debian operating system - a stamp of approval in itself. And to make sure they had the right tools, segyio was born. The Mongstad plant is expected to receive up to 440,000 barrels of oil per day from Johan Sverdrup when the first development phase reaches peak production. First oil to Mongstad only a few days after production start confirms that the field is producing well. At the same time, Johan Sverdrup triggers high activity at the plant and new opportunities for the future,' says Rummelhoff. When the second phase is completed in 2022, Mongstad will receive up to 660,000 barrels of oil per day.

Yet the work is far from over and they have a long list of things they would like to do but would require a sponsor. I said we could do it two ways; the quick and easy way, where they got exactly what they wanted, or the longer route, where we would take a step back and create a better and faster library component. They have it in clear writing that open source should always be considered as the first option. For us it was simply the natural choice. This is one of the great aspects of working in open source; our software can be used in entirely new ways. . Simply put, it lets the user access massive amounts of data - and then read or write onto it.

Because seismic surveys generate staggering amounts of data, you need the right software to be able to read and make sense of it. The work has been carried out properly and efficiently. Future cargoes are expected to contain between 600,000 and 2 million barrels. Naturally, speed became a criteria. As head of Mongstad I am proud of the great effort leading up to this day,' says Rasmus F.

It has been a major effort involving plant modifications and completion of pipes. Instead of writing it all by yourself you can head into segyio, find the function you need and have it written onto your data.

This often results in leaning towards free software when you can, which has also become Equinor's strategy. The original order was placed during the summer of 2016, when Kvalsvik was asked if he could take it on as a smaller project. To put it simply a library, in terms of software, is written functionality or routines that can be easily reused for new data. At the Mongstad complex the oil is stored in caverns and prepared for shipping to markets all over the world.
