One way to decrease the cost and time of seismic data acquisition is to design sparser surveys by decimating the number of shots and receivers used. The tradeoffs associated with such decimations are investigated further here, using ocean-bottom node (OBN) data from a complex geological setting in a pre-salt play of the Santos Basin, offshore Brazil.

Bottom Simulating Reflectors (BSRs) occur at the base of a shallow gas hydrate layer in many of the world’s deepwater basins, but how can they be used to assist basin modellers in their exploration and production workflows?

GeoStreamer X is a broadband multi-azimuth acquisition and state-of-the-art depth-imaging solution. Here we demonstrate the suitability of the dataset for reservoir characterisation by delineating near-field exploration opportunities and providing better reservoir understanding in the South Viking Graben, Norway.

Using the latest seismic processing technologies and best-quality regional imaging to de-risk the deeper hydrocarbon potential of the Central North Sea.

The combination of existing OBN technology, innovative survey design, and DM-FWI technology is a real step-change in high-resolution model building for oil and gas exploration, from the shallow to the deep, as proven in this recent acquisition survey in the Gulf of Mexico.

New multisensor 3D seismic acquisition and processing technologies reveal hydrocarbon potential at the Grand Banks in the North Atlantic basin, offshore Newfoundland.

A newly reprocessed seismic dataset sheds new light on the hydrocarbon potential of the Gippsland Basin in Australia.

A ‘Need-to-Have’ for understanding the regional and detailed geology of the Norwegian Sea. With recording lengths down to 16s TWT, MCG’s Regional Deep Imaging (RDI) MC2D project enables a full view of the mega-structures to be mapped - including the Moho.

New high-quality 3D broadband seismic data re-ignites oil and gas exploration in the mature Northern Viking Graben basin of the Northern North Sea.

Offshore Somalia has all the ingredients for finding big volumes of oil and gas, with reservoirs, source rocks and seals and multiple play-types including large fold-belt structures and enormous reef closures.

A seismic- and well-based approach reduces uncertainty over source rocks to bring insight to the hydrocarbon plays offshore Gabon.

New broadband 3D seismic data shows that the evolution of the Angola Kwanza Shelf demonstrates key elements of a prolific hydrocarbon system, ready for the 2021 licence round.

Structural seismic interpretation can be a complex and time-consuming task. See how cutting-edge AI technology is enabling a revolution in subsurface understanding.

Reprocessing of seismic data across the Malvinas Basin has increased the hydrocarbon potential offshore Argentina by defining virtually unexplored Tertiary plays.
