Dammam - Saudi Aramco, the national oil company, and Saudi Telecom, the national telecom company, have announced the commissioning of one of the world's supercomputers. Named 'Dammam-7', the new supercomputer is one of the ten most powerful computers in the world. The new computer will provide new opportunities in the areas of oil and gas exploration and development and enhance decision-making capabilities in the areas of exploration and investment.
The supercomputer launch is an innovative step in Saudi Aramco's digital transformation strategy. Digital transformation strategy involves a set of innovative technologies that help to redesign key operations, increase efficiency, and lead the company in the field of geography.
The supercomputer was developed in the Dhahran Techno Valley in partnership with Solutions, a subsidiary of the STC Group, and Cray, a supercomputer maker under HP. Dammam-7 has a high performance computing power of 55.4 petaflops. It enables the supercomputer to process and visualize the world's largest geophysical data. The first oil well discovered in Saudi Arabia was named 'Dammam-7'. The supercomputer is named to commemorate this.
The new computer will enable Saudi Aramco to transcend traditional exploration and production methods with the latest technologies, simulation algorithms and extensive and in-depth study. The supercomputer can handle more detailed 3D floor models. This will improve the company's ability to detect and extract oil and gas. The new computer company will be able to reduce the risks associated with exploration and development and improve the decision-making process in the areas of exploration and development of hydrocarbon resources and future investment in production and resource allocation. "This is a proud moment for Saudi Aramco," said Amin Al Nasir, the company's president and CEO. The new supercomputer is named after an oil well first discovered in Saudi Arabia in 1938. It is the most powerful computer in the Middle East. It is one of the number one supercomputers in the world.
This computer is specially designed to meet the unique needs of Saudi Aramco. The computer connects the long history of the company and Saudi Arabia in the field of exploration and the rich present in the field of energy. The 'Dammam-7' supercomputer will help with long-term strategy in the field of exploration and production. This will enable the supercomputer company to reduce the processing time of extensive data we have collected over eighty years from days to hours. New technology can help increase innovation, increase extraction capacity, and reduce costs. Engineer Amin Al-Nasir said the new computer will have a positive impact on energy efficiency and emissions emissions in the future.
