The Haugaland High, in the Norwegian North Sea, consists of a layered overburden of sub-horizontal sediments of almost 2km thick which sits on the Cretaceous Chalk. The background velocity regime of these top layers has a low vertical gradient down to the Chalk interface ...

This study aimed to provide greater insight into the question of whether a near-field Paleozoic interval could retain sufficient reservoir quality to be attractive for future exploration. To meet this challenge, an integrated multidisciplinary approach was adopted that brought together detailed geological analysis with ...

To improve the imaging of the Barents Sea’s Nordkapp basin, either in terms of resolution or geological structure, a new seismic acquisition design was proposed, using a widespread hexa-source sitting on top of 18 non-flat streamers. Imaging this new recorded data required specific and ...

The 3700km2 Nordkapp Basin area, Barents Sea, was recently acquired with a wide-spread source-over-spread design. With its 6 sources sitting on top of 18 multi-sensor streamers, one sail-line can record a dense carpet of 108 sublines separated by only 6.25m. By thinly sampling the ...

We discuss the processing and imaging solutions designed to assess 4D signal in a monitor Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) survey acquired with Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) over the Culzean field, Central North Sea. With a baseline DAS VSP survey acquired during a pilot programme ...

CCED is the operator of onshore blocks in the Sultanate of Oman. The blocks are located on the eastern flank of the Oman Salt Basin. Within the area of interest, the Barik, Al Bashair, Buah and Khufai Formations form the main oil and gas ...

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 ...

Novel/Additive Information: The paper presents a simple and computational fast method to predict CO2 injectivity and well pressure as a function of time. The application of superposition in time - a method usually associated with solving linear problems - is demonstrated to adequately solve ...

Up-down deconvolution remains a powerful tool for the processing of ocean-bottom node data through its ability to efficiently attenuate free-surface multiples along with the source ghost and signature. Practical receiver-domain implementations in the frequency-wavenumber domain, however, assume layer-cake geology and can leave residual multiples ...
