Unlocking onshore imaging challenges with FWI: case studies from the Sultanate of Oman
Unlocking onshore imaging challenges with FWI: case studies from the Sultanate of Oman
This paper highlights recent progress and breakthroughs in land FWI with two examples from the Sultanate of Oman (one from the north and one from the south).
Recent discoveries in Namibia’s Orange Basin have raised industry expectations that a similar level of success could be replicated in its conjugate margin, Uruguay. Still considered as a frontier basin, the Uruguay deepwater has similar geological elements at basin scale and unique aspects at ...
Exploring the benefits and pitfalls of using multiples in imaging
Exploring the benefits and pitfalls of using multiples in imaging
We demonstrate how the use of multiples in imaging may provide improved shallow illumination and potentially reduce the requirement for extensive site-survey acquisition in some areas.
Integrated prospect characterisation with a virtual asset team
Integrated prospect characterisation with a virtual asset team
This case study demonstrates the collaborative advantages when an Operator and a Geoscience Contractor work collectively as part of a tailor-made Integrated Virtual Asset team, to solve complex subsurface challenges in a restricted time frame. The operating challenge was to de-risk a potential drilling ...
Geomechanical Feasibility Analysis of CO2 Storage in Offshore Malaysia
Geomechanical Feasibility Analysis of CO2 Storage in Offshore Malaysia
Geomechanical screening of potential CO2 storage sites in deep geological formations presents a substantial challenge, particularly in tectonically active regions like offshore Sarawak. In this study, we collect existing logs and downhole stress and pressure measurements to construct 1D mechanical earth models for three ...
Integration of Biostratigraphy, Sedimentology and Seismic for Enhanced Reservoir Quality Prediction in the Shaw Field, UKCS
Integration of Biostratigraphy, Sedimentology and Seismic for Enhanced Reservoir Quality Prediction in the Shaw Field, UKCS
This study focuses on mapping the lateral and vertical extent of high-quality reservoir sandstone units within the Late Jurassic Fulmar Formation, adjacent to salt interpod walls within the Shaw Field, UKCS. An integrated approach, which combined biostratigraphy, petrography, electrofacies, image log analysis and seismic ...
Investigating geology, mineralization and environmental sensitivity along Mohns Ridge using seismic, electromagnetic and bathymetric data
Investigating geology, mineralization and environmental sensitivity along Mohns Ridge using seismic, electromagnetic and bathymetric data
Mohns Ridge is currently the subject of much interest owing to the occurrence of hydrothermal vent fields and critical metal-bearing seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) deposits along this segment of the ultraslow-spreading Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge. To target where potentially mineable SMS deposits may form or ...
