This article will mainly focus on the fracture/fault analysis of CGG’s multi-client 3D seismic data to highlight the potential flow pathways and contribution of excess formation water in unconventional lateral well development. By using CGG’s InsightEarth (FractureFaultSpark) software, major intra-formational and through-going formational faults ...

New high-quality seismic datasets and regional prospectivity study brings greater understanding of the distribution and extent of resource plays throughout the Banda Arc.

Risto Siliqi, CGG, France, explains how the largest multi-client ocean bottom node survey in the UK Central North Sea will deliver unprecedented seismic data quality to identify remaining reservoir potential.

This article highlights some important outcomes from an integrated study in the Anadarko Basin. Newly generated data is presented and discussed across the study area. The main aspects discussed here focus on 1) basin evolution, which has played an important role in source maturity ...

CGG, together with TGS, recently acquired a multi-client TopSeis™ 3D seismic survey in the Barents Sea. The survey, known as “Greater Castberg” was acquired and imaged using the latest advances from CGG's proprietary TopSeis solution. The latest advances include a wide distribution of five ...

Paper designed to focus on new technology - our specific focus is on the use of modern processing sequences applied to 2D legacy data in Peru (GeoSpec). There are links drawn from previous geological study of the area.

The heterogeneity in geological properties of carbonate rocks makes their acoustical behaviour more difficult to model and predict than siliciclastics. This uncertainty in prediction normally is attributed to their pore structure complexity and heterogeneity. Pore structure in carbonate is a result of the place ...

It has been well documented that the pre-stack seismic attributes can be an efficient tool for hydrocarbon exploration and pore fluid detection using techniques like Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) analysis. These studies mainly focus on siliciclastics rather than carbonates as fluid effects in carbonate ...

We address the problem of creating low frequency models for AVO inversions, investigating two workflows, neither of which involve well log interpolation. The first workflow creates a constant but structurally-compliant low frequncy model from averages over available logs. Facies analysis is done from the ...
