The increasing focus on de-risking near-field exploration in the Northern Viking Graben area demands data with improved imaging. This has led to CGG initiating a new multi-year acquisition programme to acquire east–west triple-source multi-sensor seismic data over a 24,000 km2 area, adding a second ...

‘Risk: The potential for adverse consequences for human or ecological systems, recognising the diversity of values and objectives associated with such systems.’ This widely used definition both clarifies and clouds how environmental scientists can discern and address risk. While it provides a broad basis ...

Full-waveform inversion (FWI) has become the centerpiece of velocity model building (VMB) in seismic processing in recent years. It has proven to significantly improve the velocity model, and thus the migration image, for different acquisition types and different geologic settings, including very complex environments ...

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. Conventional seismic imaging methods take a piecemeal approach ...

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 ...
