The more than 100 million euro system will be installed at TotalEnergies' Pau research centre in southern France and is due to begin commissioning in 2027.
The company said Pangea 5 will support advanced seismic engineering, AI research and integrated power modelling, helping improve subsurface imaging, speed exploration and optimise computing-intensive operations.
TotalEnergies said the new architecture should cut energy use by about 40%, reduce cooling consumption fivefold and reuse waste heat to help warm buildings hosting more than 2,500 people.
