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.
Angle-restricted FWI for shallow reservoir characterization
Angle-restricted FWI for shallow reservoir characterization
In the Barents Sea, bright amplitudes on seismic data below the Base Quaternary indicate the presence of hydrocarbon reservoirs. To allow characterization and quantitative interpretation of these potential reservoirs, analysis of amplitude versus reflection angle (AVA) information is crucial. Even with the availability of ...

Côte d’Ivoire - The new West African exploration hotspot
Côte d’Ivoire - The new West African exploration hotspot
The play-opening giant discoveries of Baleine and Murene-1 (Calao) offshore Tano Basin have reinvigorated exploration in the Equatorial margin of Africa. The basin is geologically complex and has proven its unparalleled hydrocarbon potential. To further explore this basin, there is a need for high-end ...
