GeoComputing Launches GEN 6 RiVA Platform with AI
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GeoComputing Group, a leading vendor of highly specialized petro-technical IT solutions, today announced the launch of the sixth generation of its RiVA geotechnical computing platform with added support for AI tools like PaleoScan, Petral and Kingdom applications, enabling operators to seamlessly integrate advanced technologies into their workflows. GeoComputing Launches GEN 6 RiVA Platform with AI Tool Support of Key Oil & Gas Software Vendors Share GeoComputing's RiVA private cloud platform is the most powerful platform in the E&P industry. RiVA addresses all challenges common to E&P users, such as insufficient performance, complex work environments, large data sets, local and remote locations, lack of specialty support resources, high cost and time to deploy. Highly efficient and performant, RiVA can increase productivity and accuracy so dramatically that tasks that took days on previous infrastructure can be completed in hours. With key software vendors adding AI tools to their existing applications, GeoComputing's GEN 6 Platform ships with AI-ready GPUs and workstation profiles capable of adding AI toolkits designed to enhance operational efficiency. This approach builds insight and confidence in leveraging AI tools in the search for hydrocarbons by utilizing sophisticated algorithms within familiar applications that geoscientists and operators already trust. To further achieve these advancements, the GEN 6 platform incorporates AI-supported GPUs from NVIDIA, providing the necessary computational power for demanding AI workloads. Additionally, the platform introduces configurable workstation profiles to accommodate varying GPU memory requirements, ensuring flexibility based on specific user needs. Recognizing modern deployment practices, the platform also supports containerization, enabling seamless integration of AI solutions that require this architecture. 'At Eliis, we are very happy to be collaborating with GeoComputing to continue our mission to accelerate and automate subsurface workflows,' said Alex Wilson, Principal Geoscience Advisor, Eliis SAS. 'By coupling the PaleoScan™ geoscience and RiVA private cloud platforms, we will develop and deliver AI solutions that will unlock new geoscience insights with unprecedented performance.' By focusing on maintaining the integrity of the overall environment and providing a measured and controlled approach to both operational and cost efficiency as clients progress along the AI journey, GeoComputing ensures it remains a reliable partner for operators navigating the complexities of AI. By utilizing the latest edition of RiVA, operators can harness the advantages of a well-established system that supports comprehensive geoscience application workflows while seamlessly integrating AI tools both now and in the future. The RiVA Private Cloud Platform offers a compelling alternative to the public cloud or other emerging technologies for those dealing with a tremendous amount of unstructured data with challenges that are not easy to overcome. Operators moving to the public cloud with AI initiatives that are not fully vetted often experience a degradation of the user experience that significantly increases IT operating costs, negating the offset by AI efficiencies. 'GeoComputing differentiates itself by maintaining an unwavering commitment to delivering peak performance for end users while simultaneously reducing operating costs,' said Jay Kirby, VP of Strategic Solutions at GeoComputing. 'Unlike other platforms, we achieve this balance by enabling AI from application vendors without compromising the foundational capabilities that users rely on. Our approach ensures that operators can embrace AI-enhanced workflows without the trade-offs of inflated expenses or degraded performance, providing a harmonious integration of cutting-edge technology with practical efficiency.' Oil and gas companies looking to deploy a high-performance computing platform with support for AI tools in petro-tech applications like PaleoScan, Kingdom, Petrel and others can learn more about how the GEN 6 version of RiVA can help them get the most out of their workflows at About GeoComputing GeoComputing Group, founded in 2004, is an IT consultancy for oil, gas, energy, and other geoscience companies. Its services include bespoke solution design and architecture, project management, infrastructure services, application support, and data management. In addition, it offers RiVA, the most powerful platform in the E&P industry, combining core components from leading vendors into a single, highly efficient and highly performant computing environment customized for petro-technical workflows. GeoComputing's follow-the-sun support provides subject-matter experts in infrastructure, data, geoscience applications and workflows 24/7/365. For product information visit and follow the company at

Opals finally strike gold to end Asia Cup anguish
With a first Asia Cup title under now their belt, the Opals can turn their attention to next year's Women's Basketball World Cup in Germany full of confidence. At the fifth time of asking, a new-look squad finally stood atop the podium on Sunday night in China. After topping Group A with three wins and then beating South Korea in the semi-finals, the Australians proved too strong for the second time in a matter of days against Japan at Shenzhen Sports Centre. The 88-79 victory over the world No.9 Japanese, shock winners over hosts China in their semi, finally clinched the gold medal after a 2017 silver and bronze in the next three editions. "Really happy and proud of the team for their efforts this whole week," Opals coach Paul Goriss said. "We knew coming in that Japan had a huge win ... against China and that they're going to be a formidable opponent. "I think that our team and the players really bought into the game-plan." Alex Wilson provided the spark for the world's second-ranked Opals, the 31-year-old spearheading a decisive late fourth-quarter 12-2 run for an 85-75 advantage. One day before her 24th birthday, Townsville Fire forward Alex Fowler top-scored for Australia with 15 points, pulled down six rebounds and went on to earn the tournament's Most Valuable Player award. Point guard Stephanie Reid added 13 points in the championship match while centre Zitina Aukoso went close to a double-double with 11 points and eight boards. Superstar guard Kokoro Tanaka led Japan with 21 points, 19 of which came in the opening term. The Opals join hosts Germany, AmeriCup winners the USA and EuroBasket champions Belgium as automatic qualifiers for the expanded 16-team September 2026 World Cup in Berlin, after a 24-team qualifying tournament takes place in March.
