In order to solve the challenges of imaging the shallow reservoirs of the Barents Sea, CGG, in collaboration with Lundin Norway, have developed an innovative source-over-spread acquisition solution, known as TopSeis. This addresses the lack of near-offset data recorded in conventional towed-streamer acquisition by ...
This study uses multiple wells with high-quality acoustic and density logs to demonstrate a rock physics workflow for determining dynamic Biots’s coefficient from detailed petrophysical evaluation. One of the important inputs needed for determining dynamic Biots’s coefficient is a detailed interpretation of the rock ...
In deep-water depositional systems such as the slope canyon-turbidite channel system encountered on the continental slope, offshore West Nile Delta Basin, deterministic prestack seismic inversion followed by facies classification delineated thick-bedded and thin-bedded gas-sand reservoirs encased in bypassed stratigraphic traps and also delineated prospective ...
This paper presents joint 3D MT, gravity, and MEQ tomography inversions at the Darajat geothermal filed, in Java, Indonesia, using cross-gradients to link the different geophysical properties. An additional structural constraint is provided via cross-gradients to the current geological porosity model for the field ...
All seismic data, whether 2D, 3D, post-stack or pre-stack contains noise. Typically, this noise is comprised of both coherent and random components. Coherent noise presents itself as regular patterns in the seismic data. It may appear to be random or coherent depending on the ...
The Gippsland Basin in South-Eastern Australia has been producing hydrocarbons since the early 1960’s when several giant oil and gas fields were discovered. It can therefore be considered to be a mature area, where production rates have been declining for the last twenty years ...
Barreirinhas basin is located in the north-east of Brazil and is part of the Brazilian equatorial margin, a new exploration frontier with complex geology. This basin is characterized by a rugose water bottom, a fast carbonate platform, shallow gas pockets and a complex channel ...
Paper written in association with SNH for the March 2018 additions of First Break. Paper focusses on understanding why well success was low for the offshore Douala basin and how the interpretation of the results of the GeoSpec Regrid will enable a better understanding ...
This case study of an advanced quantitative interpretation workflow is tailored for a seismic multiclient program in the Wolfberry Play of the Midland Basin. Seismic imaging begins by providing a structural interpretation basis, then quantitative interpretation provides 3D elastic and geomechanical attributes through prestack ...
