Case Study: LLog Exploration achieves 15x faster seismic image generation and major productivity gains with SanDisk Fusion ioMemory ioDrive

Llog Exploration Finds Dramatic Increases In Productivity With Fusion Iomemory Solutions

LLog Exploration, a Gulf of Mexico oil-and-gas exploration company, was spending significant time loading and generating seismic images from very large datasets (30–900 GB), which slowed geophysicists and reduced productivity—especially in the weeks before high‑stakes lease auctions where fast, accurate interpretation is critical. Repeated delays in generating crosslines and timeslices meant interpreters spent valuable time waiting instead of analyzing hundreds of images per day.

By adding Fusion ioMemory ioDrive flash storage into their existing KINGDOM workflow (including virtual machines), LLog cut image‑generation times dramatically: crossline displays became 15× faster, timeslice generation 4× faster, and a large 4.5M‑node timeslice ran 3× faster in a VM (30 → 10 minutes) with freed CPU capacity. The upgrade enabled parallel processing, remote analysis, and more surveys processed per day—delivering clear productivity gains and a competitive advantage at auction time.
