Seismic Surveying: The Cost-Benefits of Carrying out 3D Seismic Reflection Surveys for Reservoir Delineation and 4D Seismic Reflection Surveys for Reservoir Management
Introduction
Many oil and gas companies regardless of their size, whether small or large, have heavily put reliance on 3-D seismic data to effectively and accurately delineate fields and thus discover new reserves. A 3-D survey has turned out to be more effective than a 2-D survey in exploration project. In a 3-D survey, one is able to study the structures and composition of the various layers underneath and therefore, being able to put on the correct gadgets to work. ...
