In this paper we will focus on the resolution of the strong imaging challenges of the area. First, we will show how the combination of Multi Wave Inversion (MWI), joint First Break (FB) and slope tomography, and Full Waveform Inversion enabled to construct a ...

Time series are analysed to detect changes and predict future behaviour. Monitoring of the surface or subsurface in Geoscience provides such time series. As new data becomes available, changes of regime are detected. They should be identified as early as possible with as few ...

Solving fault shadow imaging problems has been a long-existing topic when heavy faults are present and the seismic imaging underneath is distorted. With full-waveform inversion (FWI), they are usually less of a concern when their depths are within diving wave penetration. However, beyond diving ...

Tables are ubiquitous in the geoscience industry, appearing in numerous documents and spreadsheets. They contain a wealth of data in a structured format which can help us understand the subsurface. However, the number of tables created over the years is huge and it requires ...

CGG has undertaken a multi-phase, multi-year data enhancement and acquisition project, commencing with a major basin-scale reprocessing initiative (ReGeneration) and culminating in the completion of a new 3D acquisition and imaging project, completed in 2021. The new survey has provided expanded data coverage from ...

Seismic imaging in the Kwanza Basin has historically proven to be challenging owing to its complex geology and the presence of deep pre-salt targets. CGG has recently re-imaged its Kwanza Basin multi-client data portfolio to benefit from new insights made possible by advanced proprietary ...

Hydrocarbon energy resources have been extracted from the Earth for many decades using in-depth technical knowledge of its subsurface. With the need to achieve net zero goals, many traditional hydrocarbon companies are reducing the carbon intensity of their operations and investing in renewable energy ...

The importance of detailed reservoir characterization and modelling for accurate reservoir performance prediction has always been recognized, but generally it is necessary to upscale reservoir properties derived from seismic data to create models that can be run in a reasonable timeframe and are a ...

The Cornerstone OBN survey has unquestionably brought a step-change in image quality compared to towed-streamer acquisition, especially for deeper, sub-BCU reservoirs and around salt diapirs where reservoir units are often heavily faulted and steeply-dipping. It will allow for the effective development and monitoring of ...
