Seismic data analysis is an essential component of energy exploration, but configuring complex processing workflows has traditionally been a time-consuming and error-prone challenge. Halliburton’s Seismic Engine, a cloud-native application for seismic data processing, is a powerful tool that previously required manual configuration of approximately 100 specialized tools to create workflows. This process was not only …

AI coding agents are rapidly becoming ubiquitous across the software industry, fundamentally changing how developers write, test, and debug daily code. While these tools excel at localized, self-contained tasks, applying them to massive, systemic codebase migrations requires an entirely new approach. Google is already addressing this challenge by incorporating AI into many migration workflows: x86 …
