Angle-restricted FWI for shallow reservoir characterization
Angle-restricted FWI for shallow reservoir characterization
In the Barents Sea, bright amplitudes on seismic data below the Base Quaternary indicate the presence of hydrocarbon reservoirs. To allow characterization and quantitative interpretation of these potential reservoirs, analysis of amplitude versus reflection angle (AVA) information is crucial. Even with the availability of ...
Recent discoveries in Namibia’s Orange Basin have raised industry expectations that a similar level of success could be replicated in its conjugate margin, Uruguay. Still considered as a frontier basin, the Uruguay deepwater has similar geological elements at basin scale and unique aspects at ...

Karim Lassel interviewed by Oil Review Middle East about Viridien’s activity in the MENA region
To coincide with ADIPEC 2024 Karim Lassel discusses Viridien’s bold rebrand and its commitment to drive innovation for the energy industry.
Côte d’Ivoire - The new West African exploration hotspot
Côte d’Ivoire - The new West African exploration hotspot
The play-opening giant discoveries of Baleine and Murene-1 (Calao) offshore Tano Basin have reinvigorated exploration in the Equatorial margin of Africa. The basin is geologically complex and has proven its unparalleled hydrocarbon potential. To further explore this basin, there is a need for high-end ...
The Storage Play Quality Index (SPQI): a multidisciplinary CO2 storage screening methodology
The Storage Play Quality Index (SPQI): a multidisciplinary CO2 storage screening methodology
We present a method for the quantitative assessment of the subsurface suitability of saline aquifer CO2 storage sites using a case study example from the Northern North Sea.
The mining industry faces unprecedented hurdles; these challenges can be met with the right geoscience data and digital technologies. Viridien's geophysics, satellite mapping and digital transformation paving the way for important mineral discoveries.
High-frequency FWI Imaging: repurposing seismic data for imaging shallow hazards
High-frequency FWI Imaging: repurposing seismic data for imaging shallow hazards
We describe how FWI Imaging results from existing, raw, conventional 3D seismic data, can be used as a rapidly available 3D alternative to dedicated site surveys or supplementary dataset to help improve understanding of the shallow subsurface.
