Paper Summary

PGS has rejuvenated its Santos portfolio and final products from the reprocessing effort are available now. Covering around 34,000 km2, the Santos Vision program delivers the most comprehensive and geologically conformable dataset to date, mitigating exploration risk in the prolific pre-salt play of the basin. The latest in broadband processing has been applied and the single data volume represents the largest Reverse Time Migration (RTM) and Kirchhoff prestack depth migration (KPSDM) successfully completed by the industry. Extension of the dataset to more than 60,000 km2 of full and seamless coverage is in progress. The recent application of PGS Least-Squares Migration (LSM) to a subset of the seismic data demonstrates a further uplift in image resolution that provides unprecedented resolution in post- and pre-salt imaging.
