The new assessment carried out by USGS indicates that northeastern Greenland may be a very important future petroleum province. If the mean estimate of 31 BBOE were discovered and proven, this huge...

Barely 6 months into an 18-monthlong exploratory program that eventually will cover more than 193,000 sq miles (500,000 sq km) of unmapped acreage in Indonesia’s vast offshore frontier, MIGAS and...

Compared to surface seismic, the increased complexity associated with seafloor seismic data (OBC) requires considerable attention to details if a noise-free and well imaged dataset is to be produced....

The goal of repeat imaging (detailed studies of prospects as new information is available) using PSDM is to generate new locations for both development and exploration targets. We present two case...

3-D prestack depth migration is the most time consuming part in velocity model building. To minimize the required iteration of depth migration, we first perform a demigration to the pick residual...

The remarkable improvements in data quality due to rapid advances in processing algorithms and computer technology over the past several years have been nothing short of phenomenal. The provision of...

There was little industry interest in 2002 and 2003 when TGS launched the idea of aquiring a new generation of regional, long offset, long recording 2D data covering the entire North Sea Basin. The...

In deepwater Gulf of Mexico, the new Lower Tertiary play shows great promise - as much as 15 billion bbl of potentially recoverable reserves, according to MMS. There has been a rash of discoveries in...

Interest is growing in the prospectivity of the Chukchi Sea in the Russian Arctic as new evidence emerges to support the thesis that the under-explored region may well harbor world-class oil and gas...

It is no secret that it is becoming more and more of a challenge to meet the expected production increases in the Gulf of Mexico. With its incredible potential, the much touted deep gas shelf play...
