The Cornerstone OBN survey has unquestionably brought a step-change in image quality compared to towed-streamer acquisition, especially for deeper, sub-BCU reservoirs and around salt diapirs where reservoir units are often heavily faulted and steeply-dipping. It will allow for the effective development and monitoring of ...
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has just concluded its Sixth Assessment Report Cycle (AR6). The reports making up the AR6 provide the most comprehensive overview of the current state of climate change, its impacts and the adaptation and mitigation options that are ...
The Northern North Sea is a very active area for oil and gas exploration with several commercial discoveries made over the last few years. These include the Dugong discovery on the Tampen Spur and multiple discoveries in the Greater Fram area on the Horda ...
Sophie Zurquiyah joined CGG in 2013 and was appointed CEO in 2018. The collapse in oil price,Covid-19 pandemic and energy transition have created a tough business environment during her near four-year tenure in this role, but also created opportunities. In this interview, Sophie talks ...
Executives from CGG, PGS and TGS shared how their companies are helping businesses minimize their carbon footprints by implementing CCS subsurface technologies and services.
Each year the geoscience industry creates huge volumes of documents containing a wealth of knowledge which cannot be easily queried or extracted. Key to the successful extraction and transformation of data is an understanding of the nature of the data that exists within a ...
Based on an extensive 3D modelling study utilising full-wavefield Finite-Difference modelling and Full-Waveform Inversion (FWI) we demonstrate that the TopSeis/OBN hybrid acquisition acquired from May to August 2021 in the Nordkapp basin in the Barents Sea has the potential to image salt flanks and ...
While significant progress has been made in CCUS over the last five years, the industrial and financial sectors need to see how projects are being effectively de-risked. By capitalizing on the latest technology advances and the integration of multidisciplinary skills and data, geoscience has ...
This paper describes a new dense survey acquired in 2020 in the Permian Basin and aims to objectively assess the quality and benefits brought by a richer low end of the spectrum and far offsets. For this purpose, we considered several aspects, from acquisition ...
