Angola, Kwanza Basin: Sub-salt plays of the ultra-deep water

Gregor Duval, Jaswinder Mann and Lauren Houston, CGG
Exploring further and deeper Acquisition of marine seismic data using CGG’s broadband solution BroadSeis™, has greatly improved the imaging and interpretation of subsurface oil and gas reservoirs. Pre-salt reservoir targets…

Kirkuk. A Silent Giant Oilfield

Munim Al-Rawi, Ph.D., Carta Design Ltd.
The giant Kirkuk field, discovered in 1927, has had a very chequered history and requires imaginative reservoir engineering methods to return it to optimum productivity. The Kirkuk oilfield is partly…
