What about animals without ears, like the crab? In this article, we discuss how the crab’s hearing system works and report from a Canadian research project investigating the effects of seismic shooting on snow crabs.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Marine_Seismic_Sources_Part_XI_Effect_of_Seismic_on_Crabs/1850f53c.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Marine_Seismic_Sources_Part_XI_Effect_of_Seismic_on_Crabs/1850f53c.aspxSun, 01 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT The possible effects of seismic surveys on fish and fisheries have been given a great deal of media attention in Norway. Here, we summarise results from the Fish Rock experiment offshore Scotland.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Marine_Seismic_Sources_Part_X_Seismic_Surveys_and_Fish/90edd2c4.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Marine_Seismic_Sources_Part_X_Seismic_Surveys_and_Fish/90edd2c4.aspxFri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT What is known about the impact of seismic surveys on fish and fisheries? http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Marine_Seismic_Sources_Part_IX_Seismic_Surveys_and_Fish/4f658c51.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Marine_Seismic_Sources_Part_IX_Seismic_Surveys_and_Fish/4f658c51.aspxThu, 10 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT PGS claims to have built a marine seismic streamer that is capable of removing receiver ghosts, thereby enhancing frequency bandwidth and seismic resolution. If proven by full-scale field tests, this could be a major break-through in seismic acquisition.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Exorcising_the_Ghosts_The_New_Streamer_Technology_Launched_by_PGS/b59e1468.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Exorcising_the_Ghosts_The_New_Streamer_Technology_Launched_by_PGS/b59e1468.aspxTue, 09 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT Time-lapse seismic is now a proven technology for monitoring fluid movements and identifying undrained compartments in thick offshore clastic reservoirs. Several challenges still exist, however, in particular the use of the technology for carbonate and thin-bedded clastic reservoirs.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/4D_Seismic_Status_and_Future_Challenges_Part_I_Status/b5a4de15.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/4D_Seismic_Status_and_Future_Challenges_Part_I_Status/b5a4de15.aspxMon, 08 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT Seismic monitoring is an important technology in the effective exploitation of reservoirs in existing fields. The successful further uptake of 4D technology requires extensive training of dedicated personnel, while the biggest challenge in 4D technology development is to produce high vertical resolution 4D images of production.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/4D_Seismic_Status_and_Future_Changes_Part_II_Future_Challenges/2f1bc3df.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/4D_Seismic_Status_and_Future_Changes_Part_II_Future_Challenges/2f1bc3df.aspxSun, 07 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT Passive low-frequency seismic is an area of active research and development, and is rapidly being taken up as a new direct hydrocarbon indicator (DHI) technique for exploration. The interest in the method is high, in particular since Spectraseis AG, the leading provider of low-frequency geophysical solutions to the oil and gas industry won the World Oil Award for Best Exploration Technology in October 2007. However, despite the empirical evidence supporting the technique, the underlying physical mechanism has not yet been fully identified. http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Lowfrequency_Seismic_Noise_The_Music_of_Oil/358322c2.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Lowfrequency_Seismic_Noise_The_Music_of_Oil/358322c2.aspxSun, 07 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT Seismic imaging is considered key to reducing risk and cost in exploratory as well as development drilling. Seismic acquisition geometry impacts the seismic image, so in this article we show how advances in imaging deepwater subsalt plays in the deep water Gulf of Mexico is a result of the way the industry has embraced the wide azimuth streamer survey technique.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Seismic_Imaging_Technology_Part_II/64c223b6.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Seismic_Imaging_Technology_Part_II/64c223b6.aspxSun, 10 Apr 2011 00:00:00 GMT Over the last decade we have experienced several step-changes in marine seismic acquisition technologies. Because acquisition and seismic imaging are inextricably linked, these changes have impacted positively on the seismic image of subsurface geology. But have we found the ultimate acquisition technique? In this article, we speculate what the future may bring.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Seismic_Imaging_Technology_Part_IV/82c1b416.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Seismic_Imaging_Technology_Part_IV/82c1b416.aspxThu, 04 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT Radio waves from satellites can now be used to measure miniscule movements at the Earth's surface at a millimetre level. The method has gained wide acceptance for several scientific purposes, but also has definite potential for use in reservoir management.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Advanced_Remote_Sensing/87ccfdd4.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Advanced_Remote_Sensing/87ccfdd4.aspxWed, 03 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT
