While significant progress has been made in CCUS over the last five years, the industrial and financial sectors need to see how projects are being effectively de-risked. By capitalizing on the latest technology advances and the integration of multidisciplinary skills and data, geoscience has ...

This paper describes a new dense survey acquired in 2020 in the Permian Basin and aims to objectively assess the quality and benefits brought by a richer low end of the spectrum and far offsets. For this purpose, we considered several aspects, from acquisition ...

Twelve multi-source/multi-receiver land surveys from the Carpathian foothills were reprocessed and merged using the most advanced signal processing and imaging technologies. These included an innovative denoising subtraction using a primary model from the de-migration of a clean reflectivity from PSDM as well as a ...

CGG has always been at the forefront of industrial High Perfor­mance Computing (HPC) architectures: we were operating vector supercomputers (Convex, Cray and NEC) in the early 1990s, and large parallel supercomputers (Convex SPP, IBM SP, Sgi Origin) by the end of that decade. At ...

The optimal transport problem was formulated more than 200 years ago to calculate the optimal way of transporting piles of sand. Due to the interesting properties of its solutions with respect to shifts between the compared distributions, optimal transport has recently been adapted to ...

Although the resolution of a seismic image is ultimately bound by the spatial and temporal sampling of the acquired seismic data, the seismic images obtained through conventional imaging methods normally fall far short of this limit. In addition to attenuation in the Earth, factors ...

Full-waveform inversion has been established as a standard tool for building high-resolution velocity models. To take full advantage of such models, the migration algorithm must be capable of handling fine-scale geo-bodies and sharp contrasts while affordably producing high-frequency migration stacks and gathers. Even though ...

High-quality depth images typically require accurate high resolution representations of the earth model. Full-waveform inversion (FWI) has recently justified its value throughout the industry in providing high-resolution velocity models. However, obtaining an accurate FWI velocity model using narrow-azimuth streamer data can still be challenging ...

Recently, land full-waveform inversion (FWI) has shown great potential in resolving near-surface complexity in the Delaware Basin, providing significant imaging uplift and useful information for shallow hazard identification. However, deep section updates beyond diving wave penetration remain challenging. We present an application of land ...
