Mohns Ridge is currently the subject of much interest owing to the occurrence of hydrothermal vent fields and critical metal-bearing seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) deposits along this segment of the ultraslow-spreading Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge. To target where potentially mineable SMS deposits may form or ...

Multi-dimensional deconvolution (MDD) is an attractive method to remove free-surface multiples for OBN datasets. Multi-dimensional implementations are able to produce accurate multiple models in areas of structurally complex reflectivity. For most OBN acquisitions, the receiver density is not sufficient for receiver-side MDD. Consequently, source-side ...

Acoustic full-waveform inversion (FWI) is widely employed to produce high-resolution subsurface models, especially for the P-wave velocity. However, more complex geological challenges, such as shallow chalk and salt, generate strong impedance contrasts that exhibit elastic effects, causing acoustic approximations to struggle. In parts of ...

A good estimation of velocity anisotropy is important in a pre-stack depth migration project in order to obtain proper focusing and accurate depthing of the seismic image. Considering that the velocity along the bedding is expected to be faster than across the bedding, the ...

Marine vibrator sources offer the ability to emit a fully customisable and accurately repeatable sweep signature. Resulting peak amplitude levels are much lower than for airguns, making marine vibrators potentially preferable for the welfare of marine life. While the highly repeatable nature of the ...

A multi-disciplinary project is presented utilizing data from the CGG archives and re-purposing them for porphyry copper deposit exploration. we reprocess the data, interpret and combine the results and place them within a holistic mineral systems framework to derive new exploration insights and demonstrate ...

The top basement surface of the Patch Bank Ridge offers distinct morphologies that are studied in detail. We use the seismically interpreted top basement surface as our digital elevation model to analyze geomorphology and structure and discuss differences and timing of the development of ...

The Early Cretaceous sands on the Måløy slope constitute as reservoir for many oil and gas discoveries as seen in the Duva field and Hamlet and Ofelia discoveries. These sands have been deposited in submarine channels and fans, fed by material derived from the ...

Recent exploration activities within Paleocene and Eocene remobilized sands have proven the injectite play in the Northern Viking Graben (NVG). Wells targeting these sands have led to new discoveries such as Kveikje (2022) and Heisenberg (2023). This study proposes a robust methodology for detailed ...
