Seismic imaging using full-wavefield data that includes primary reflections, transmitted waves, and their multiples, has been the holy grail for generations of geophysicists. To be able to use the full-wavefield data effectively requires a forward modeling process to generate full-wavefield data, an inversion scheme ...

Data from all sources, at all scales, has helped to assess petroleum potential offshore Mozambique beyond the relatively small play fairway proven to date. New insights into proven and potential reservoirs, plus improved predictions of the presence, type and maturity of source rocks, have ...

A machine learning workflow can quickly, and accurately, predict mineralogy, porosity and saturation in multiple wells to better understand productive layers in unconventional oil reservoirs.

Screen license round opportunities using trusted insight into the location and characteristics of natural seepage, indicative of active petroleum systems, with CGG’s focused Malaysian data packages, available for all 13 of the 2021 bid round acreages.

A new, proprietary technique that improves production forecasts has been demonstrated on an Asian gas field. Multi-scale ensemble-based history matching (MS-EnOpt) improves production forecasting and reserve estimation, and provides engineers with an understanding of key reservoir uncertainties.

To help the industry identify new and previously overlooked prospects in Australia’s Gippsland Basin, CGG acquired a new basin-scale 3D seismic multi-client survey in 2020.

Four recent case studies document how an advanced seismic workflow, which integrates geoscience data, enables operators to enhance their reservoir characterization interpretation.

The North West Shelf of Australia is a prolific hydrocarbon province hosting significant volumes of hydrocarbons, primarily derived from Jurassic and Cretaceous targets. A new regional, integrated geoscience study has been undertaken by CGG to develop new insights into the paleogeography and petroleum systems ...

Exploration in the Northern North Sea has been extremely successful, with important discoveries such as Statfjord in 1974, and Oseberg, Snorre, Gullfaks and Troll, discovered in 1979. More recently, several smaller but still very valuable discoveries have been made, demonstrating the remaining potential of ...
