Using gravimetry for cost-cutting reservoir monitoring
“In some fields, ocean bottom gravity and subsidence measurements are working better than seismic surveys at a fraction of the cost when it comes to reservoir monitoring,” said Hugo Ruiz,…
Provides a higher recovery factor
– Permanent reservoir monitoring is a powerful tool and an important part of the complicated work of producing as much as possible of oil and gas in the most cost-efficient…
Noise reduction is feasible
In recent years, there has been an increased focus on the loud noises emitted from air guns during seismic surveys and its potential impact on marine life. Authorities have consequently…

TGS delivers multi-client OBN survey
TGS has announced that the processing of the northern half of its landmark ocean-bottom node (OBN) multi-client survey in the Norwegian North Sea is complete. “This is the biggest OBN…
DHIs works well for de-risking prospects
Flat spots are found to be the only Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHI) that improve the all-over technical success rate, compared to other applied DHIs, according to a new report by…
Large-scale collaboration
A large number of oil, service and tech companies are working together on developing a standardized open subsurface data platform.
