The Offshore Oil drilling frontier is moving into evermore challenging environments all the time (ultra-deep water, sub-salt / sub-basalt basins).
Thus it becomes increasingly challenging to image the targets with conventional (mainly seismic) methods alone.
Although this problem has been recognized for a long time, till today very few technologies and methods are available to not just evaluate the different data sets in parallel but to integrate the different geophysical data sets from the beginning.
CEI knows how to do this because we have already done it, successfully and we can prove it
A Sophisticated Technology
Financial Implications
- Reduced risk for exploration or (re)appraisal
Improved well locations and depth to target constraints. - Extension of field life span by discovery of overlooked reservoir compartments
- 4D by just acquiring inexpensive CSEM data instead of expensive 3D seismic data
A Simultaneous Evaluation
of different geophysical data sets reduces exploration and appraisal risks. This means lower drilling costs (multi-physics images are consistent across the different data sets). This results in better characterization of pore fill, reservoir properties, and last but not least geometries.
The Application Field of simultaneous Integration
- Exploration in complex geological areas
- Re-appraisal of existing developments
- 4D monitoring:
- of producing fields
- of carbon capture and storage safety
