Bridging the Gap between Reservoir and Seismic
New modelling package SeisRoX uses rapid simulation of PSDM to aid seismic reservoir characterisation and monitoring. Bridging the Gap between Reservoir and Seismic
Microscopic Fossils Help Steer the Drillbit
Biosteering – guiding the drillbit using microscopic fossils – has proved to be a useful technique when drilling in complex reservoirs. Examples from the Norwegian Sea demonstrate how the biostratigrapher…
