A specialized imaging toolbox for evolving energy needs
Subsurface Information Faster
Why reprocess: Rejuvenating existing data using modern processing techniques enables fast access to improved subsurface information.
FSB Vision
Legacy data was reworked in close collaboration with client and employing the latest signal processing, velocity model building and imaging technologies, including advanced demultiple, FWI, and prestack depth imaging.
Reprocessing delivers greater detail from shallow to deep resolving the fault systems, shallow injectities, alluvial deposits, and intrusive and extrusive volcanic, enabling accurate appraisal of hydrocarbon potential.
Great detail is revealed in the reprocessed depth slice with a more varied velocity field that conforms well with local geological structures.

Imaging Complex Geology
Why OBN for complex geology: Rich azimuthal coverage delivers full illumination, long offsets provide accurate velocity information and OBN delivers good S/N for reservoir quantification.
Santos Basin
The challenge here is imaging a presalt reservoir beneath a complex overburden. Robust phase and amplitude-compliant data conditioning combined with multiparameter FWI and azimuth sectored RTM enables the generations of high-fidelity images for detailed reservoir characterization and rock property estimation. Illumination issues have been corrected using LSM.
RTM and LSM comparison. Least-Squares Migration optimizes spatial resolution and improves subsurface illumination leading to more robust AVA behavior. PGS offers both data and frequency domain implementations of LSM.

Resolving the Near Surface
Why high-resolution for shallow imaging: Near surface understanding is required for shallow prospectivity, CCS and wind. Using multiples from sea-surface reflections delivers near-offset information.
Gulf of Mexico OBN
New acquisition in this area is restricted so our solution is to reprocess legacy 3D OBN data using our innovative SWIM technology. This uses multiples to generate ultra-shallow images revealing details not seen before.
Rachel Collings
Connect with Rachel to learn more about the unique SWIM technology and the difference it makes in resolving the very shallow overburden for both CCS and Wind applications.

Prospectivity in Mature Areas
Why MAZ is valuable for ILX: To find leads and prospects tied back into existing infrastructure and legacy data needs to be conditioned for reliable AVA analysis. Adding a broader bandwidth dataset adds low frequencies essential for reliable reservoir characterization.
Viking Graben
Close collaboration with the client to deliver optimal multiazimuth reservoir properties such as acoustic impedance and porosity. Rejuvenated and conditioned dataset reveals potential Upper Jurrasic reservoir sands with porosity exceeding 18%, these were totally unresolved on legacy data.
Legacy and reprocessed seismic with porosity overlaid, high porosity is shown in red.
Improvements in porosity assessment
On the images to the left, green and yellow/red colors indicate the thickness of potential reservoir sands with a porosity above 15%. The left-hand side shows legacy data where no reservoir sand was identified. The right-hand side shows new multiazimuth data with potential new prospect locations.
