The Kaleidoscope Project, developed by Repsol in partnership with IBM, 3DGeo, Stanford University and the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre allows Repsol to generate sharper seismic imaging and to process them 15 times faster than with other technologies, shortening exploration times and increasing the chances of success when exploring thousands of metres underground. The development and use of this technology has placed Repsol on the cutting edge of exploration in complex environments with significant potential, such as the Gulf of México and the Brazilian pre-salt (subsalt) deep waters, helping the company?s exploratory success in both those areas during 2008 and 2009.
