I'm Mike Davis I'm the drilling manager

3:40

with repol Gulf of Mexico we're out here

3:42

in 4,000 ft of water in Green Canyon 304

3:45

drilling the Anga Stewart Prospect about

3:47

a 29,000 ft Subs salt well Big Technical

3:50

challenge that's why we got a big rig

3:51

like the Cajun Express on

3:54

it one of the challenges that the oil

3:56

industry has is finding new oil cuz all

3:59

of the easy oil has been used

4:01

up finding oil is is becoming more

4:06

difficult and difficult because is

4:08

always deeper and deeper and deeper more

4:10

and more the industry requires deep

4:12

Computing to find that deep

4:15

oil we have tools downhole that evaluate

4:19

the rock while we're drilling it this

4:21

data is being sent up just about

4:23

instantaneously while we're drilling 5

4:25

miles down below the surface the

4:27

Barcelona supercomputing Center is a Val

4:29

resource for repol because it allows

4:31

them to Crunch those numbers and

4:33

generate those images that allows them

4:34

to find the oil I am in the Barcelona

4:36

super Computing Center and we are here

4:39

working to generate the new generation

4:41

of
