Integrating Seismic Imaging and Inversion
Combining depth imaging and inversion workflows into a single consistent process has the potential to provide more accurate models in a shorter time than achievable to date. The hydrocarbon industry…
Time-Lapse Refraction Seismic – Part I
A Complementary Monitoring Method? Would you like me to give you a formula for… success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure… You can be discouraged by failure…
Time-Lapse Seismic and Geomechanics – Part I
Ekofisk, Norwegian North Sea, was one of the first fields where time-lapse seismic proved an excellent tool for monitoring and mapping geomechanical changes in a producing field A stone is…
Magnetics for Hydrocarbon Exploration
How can a tiny mineral called magnetite help to unravel hydrocarbon seepage and subsurface petrology? It’s not MAGIC – it’s MAGNETICS… in integrated workflows! ‘Magnetism, as you recall from physics…
Modeling Exploration Strategies
What is the value of systematic use of controlled source electromagnetic information in frontier exploration? The value of information (VOI) depends on the targeted decision, how the information is used…
Part I: An Introduction to Deep Learning
Once, artificial intelligence (AI) was science fiction. Today, it is part of our everyday lives. In the future, will computers begin to think for themselves? “We tend to overestimate the…
Barents Sea South East: What’s Next?
Advanced imaging in combination with regional rock physics analysis across the Haapet Dome suggests high porosity reservoirs in the Jurassic and a potential for prospectivity in the Triassic.
Time-Lapse Refraction Seismic II
Foreward In Part I of this series of articles we discussed the development of time-lapse refraction seismic as a complementary monitoring method. Here we look at some field examples. The…
Far too optimistic
The oil companies believe they will find much more oil and gas than they actually do on the NCS, Wittemann E&P Consulting claims.
Arctic Hot Spot to be spudded
It can turn out to be the discovery of the 21st century. Or the duster of the year. CSEM data tells us to be cautiously optimists.
The quest for oil
Once again the message is, this time from BP, oil is here to stay. Another 20 years. At least.
