HampsonRussell 10.5 | March 2020:

This new version of HampsonRussell extends and enhances the user experience, offering the speed of Multi-Node Processing on Windows and the flexibility of a Python ecosystem. New features in HampsonRussell version 10.5:

• Multi-Node Processing now available on Windows in addition to Linux, providing powerful speed improvements to your processing projects.  Initial tests of Multi-Node Processing when running gather conditioning and pre stack inversion processes on Windows, indicate speed improvements of approximately three and a half times when using four Multi-Node Processing nodes rather than a single node. This requires an add-on license for any number of nodes.
• New Python ecosystem for HampsonRussell provides the flexibility to design and code any process while taking advantage of the HampsonRussell project structure and data access.  The ecosystem accesses log, horizon and seismic data and is included at no cost for customers on active maintenance.
• Successfully tested and now cloud-ready in AWS as well as Azure

Accomplish your exploration and development objectives at every stage of your reservoir characterization and interpretation workflows with HampsonRussell 10.5. For questions about what's new in HampsonRussell, or request a demo:  Contact us.
