Controlled Source ElectroMagnetic (CSEM) is a proven technique that has a strong future in helping solve certain oil and gas exploration and production challenges, especially when seismic data alone cannot…

The evolving role of seismic reflection data within offshore site investigation. Marine site investigation is, at heart, about reducing risk. Sometimes it involves minimizing the risk to operations posed by…

The modern vibroseis is a complex, delicately tuned machine. The shaking gets translated into seismic data to provide insights into the subsurface for oil, gas and resource exploration. An 80,000…

Geophysics must change – but it must also remain meaningful. “Geophysical data are a part of everything that we do,” Stephen Greenlee, president of ExxonMobil Exploration Co., told a roomful…

The key to all seismic interpretation is the interpreter’s experience and knowledge, so why should artificial intelligence change that? The reality is, it shouldn’t. Figure 1: Exmouth Basin section with…
