Paper Summary
Results are presented from the processing of new acquisition in combination with complementary reprocessing of legacy data over 8200 square kilometers in the deep waters of the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil. The acquisition configuration was a result of extensive survey design and modelling studies, designed to meet both the technical needs of the area and the regulatory requirements of Brazil. Survey planning considered characteristics of the existing legacy data, specific geological targets, imaging challenges in resolving the pre-salt syn-rift section, and sampling requirements of high-end imaging methods. We show that the combination of a legacy survey with an appropriately designed new survey provides the basis for robust velocity building and notable improvements in image quality, which will bring greater confidence in interpretation and reservoir characterization work.
