New pyrolysis method offers alternative for evaluating unconventional shale oil resources
New pyrolysis method offers alternative for evaluating unconventional shale oil resources
This article is related new pyrolysis method developed by CGG. This new method is called “unconventional pyrolysis method” for bitumen-rich source rock samples from shale oil plays. This novel technique applies a different temperature program to the Rock-Eval pyrolysis 6 equipment, using the multi-heating ...
Fault Analysis Using 3-D Data Reduces Water Production, H2S Risks In Delaware Basin
Fault Analysis Using 3-D Data Reduces Water Production, H2S Risks In Delaware Basin
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 Broadband Imaging Reveals Prospectivity Insights
New Broadband Imaging Reveals Prospectivity Insights
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.
An integrated geoscience workflow to improve unconventional play assessment – an example from the SCOOP/STACK, Oklahoma
An integrated geoscience workflow to improve unconventional play assessment – an example from the SCOOP/STACK, Oklahoma
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 ...
Greater Johan Castberg area, Barents Sea: Outstanding near-offset coverage and long-offset FWI
Greater Johan Castberg area, Barents Sea: Outstanding near-offset coverage and long-offset FWI
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 ...
Advanced reprocessing of legacy seismic data offshore Peru
Advanced reprocessing of legacy seismic data offshore Peru
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.
Geology-guided pore space quantification for carbonate rocks
Geology-guided pore space quantification for carbonate rocks
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 ...
