Geological bodies like sand injectites are found in numerous geodynamic and geological contexts around the world, and they can manifest as low- or high-amplitude seismic responses with complex structures. In this paper, we demonstrated an amplitude preserving DNN-based workflow for injectite detection using customized ...

The role of FWI Imaging in compensating for transmission loss
The role of FWI Imaging in compensating for transmission loss
Seismic wavefields traveling through the subsurface lose energy due to various phenomena, such as geometric divergence and intrinsic attenuation. Imaging algorithms that account for these effects are well established. However, an often overlooked aspect of seismic imaging is transmission loss, which occurs due to ...
Enhanced regional imaging of Late Jurassic depositional systems across the Northern Viking Graben, Norwegian North Sea
Enhanced regional imaging of Late Jurassic depositional systems across the Northern Viking Graben, Norwegian North Sea
In this paper, we present the importance of a regional dataset, acquired and processed with the latest seismic imaging technologies to better understand the depositional environments of one of the main hydrocarbon plays in the Northern North Sea – the Upper Jurassic sandstones. Here ...
The road to 200Hz FWI using hybrid streamer and Node acquisition over Nordkapp
The road to 200Hz FWI using hybrid streamer and Node acquisition over Nordkapp
The Nordkapp Basin is a large under-explored salt basin of the Barents Sea. Despite several exploration campaigns over the past decades, no successful drilling was achieved. A new hybrid survey combining streamers and nodes was acquired in 2021 to unlock this new play. Sparse ...
Time-lapse FWI to improve understanding of superimposed reservoirs in deep offshore
Time-lapse FWI to improve understanding of superimposed reservoirs in deep offshore
Superimposed reservoirs are common in oil and gas production, but they are challenging to monitor with time-lapse seismic imaging. A common seismic attribute used for assessing reservoir evolution during production is the time-shift measurement which is obtained comparing two 3D seismic images. In the ...
Dynamic resolution TLFWI for velocity model building beyond the reach of diving waves
Dynamic resolution TLFWI for velocity model building beyond the reach of diving waves
Dynamic Resolution Time-Lag FWI (DR-TLFWI) aims to use both diving waves and reflections for velocity update with optimized low- and high-wavenumber components from shallow to deep section. The proposed method builds contrast into the velocity model, enabling the simulation of reflections. The iterative velocity ...
Revealing The Unseen Mud Diapir Through OBN Data: A Case Study in Yinggehai Basin
Revealing The Unseen Mud Diapir Through OBN Data: A Case Study in Yinggehai Basin
Yinggehai basin is one of the most important basins of the South China Sea for its mega gas reservoirs and exploration potential. Vintage seismic data generally suffers severely from complex structures, including diapir formed by thermal fluids, strong shallow gas fields, and complex faulting ...
Futureproofing Rich Metadata File Ingestion with OSDU
Futureproofing Rich Metadata File Ingestion with OSDU
Acting as a technology-agnostic, standards-based data platform, the OSDU has reduced energy data silos and provided the capability for applications developers to build new solutions and data ingestion services. The current OSDU schemas are primarily created to store file metadata to allow users to ...
Depth Imaging in North Kuwait: Challenges and Solutions
Depth Imaging in North Kuwait: Challenges and Solutions
We present the main results of a tailored velocity model building workflow on a recent broadband survey from North Kuwait. Depth imaging in Kuwait presents several challenges, including the need to capture the strong velocity variations of a complex near surface that generates long ...
