The desire to extend all the benefits of broadband 3D data to 4D time-lapse surveys has been hampered by the requirement for repeatability between successive surveys. The use of deep-towed multi-sensor streamers in time-lapse acquisition creates challenges, as the existing baseline surveys will often ...

In this paper, we look at the HeliFalcon AGG survey conducted in the Aso-Oguni area exploring for geothermal fields, examine the technical challenges presented by the rugged terrains, describe some aspects of the data acquisition and processing, and present the survey results.

In this paper, we present an integrated study that combines geophysical and geological approaches to perform porosity estimation and populate the reservoir geological model with the estimated property. For pre-salt oilfields, due to the complex porosity distribution in carbonate reservoirs, predicting a reliable porosity ...

In order to solve the challenges of imaging the shallow reservoirs of the Barents Sea, CGG, in collaboration with Lundin Norway, have developed an innovative source-over-spread acquisition solution, known as TopSeis. This addresses the lack of near-offset data recorded in conventional towed-streamer acquisition by ...

This study uses multiple wells with high-quality acoustic and density logs to demonstrate a rock physics workflow for determining dynamic Biots’s coefficient from detailed petrophysical evaluation. One of the important inputs needed for determining dynamic Biots’s coefficient is a detailed interpretation of the rock ...

In deep-water depositional systems such as the slope canyon-turbidite channel system encountered on the continental slope, offshore West Nile Delta Basin, deterministic prestack seismic inversion followed by facies classification delineated thick-bedded and thin-bedded gas-sand reservoirs encased in bypassed stratigraphic traps and also delineated prospective ...

This paper presents joint 3D MT, gravity, and MEQ tomography inversions at the Darajat geothermal filed, in Java, Indonesia, using cross-gradients to link the different geophysical properties. An additional structural constraint is provided via cross-gradients to the current geological porosity model for the field ...

All seismic data, whether 2D, 3D, post-stack or pre-stack contains noise. Typically, this noise is comprised of both coherent and random components. Coherent noise presents itself as regular patterns in the seismic data. It may appear to be random or coherent depending on the ...

The Gippsland Basin in South-Eastern Australia has been producing hydrocarbons since the early 1960’s when several giant oil and gas fields were discovered. It can therefore be considered to be a mature area, where production rates have been declining for the last twenty years ...
