... to a recent node survey acquired offshore Abu Dhabi. Introduction Ocean-bottom-node (OBN) acquisition in shallow-water environments has many benefits. One technique involves imaging using NFH data. The main purpose of an NFH is to monitor proper functioning of the aiguns during acquisition. They also are used...

Glynn Williams, CEO of Silixa, shares in this Q&A how all this experience points to fiber having a major role to play in the rise of the CCS sector—especially when it comes to safety and regulatory matters. His...

...Stephen Rassenfoss PetroRio is a young, Brazilian independent oil producer whose acquisitions tend to raise the same question: “How do you make money from old brownfields? That is the question we have always heard,” said Iuri Rossi, subsea coordinator at PetroRio. The answer has existed since small...

The deal allows for the acquisition, promotion, and licensing of multiclient seismic programs, including new 3D acquisition and legacy data reprocessing, in the shallow-water acreage offshore Suriname. Suriname’s acreage includes three blocks recently awarded, and current open acreage...

... potential reservoir zones and estimating resources in place. Typically, these evaluations rely on acquisition of openhole logging measurements; however, this is not always possible. The complete paper outlines two examples from tight gas reservoirs in two separate fields offshore Abu Dhabi in which openhole...

.... Introduction In subsurface exploration, seismic is the dominant method used to reconstruct the underground image for geophysicists and geologists to locate possible hydrocarbon reservoirs. Seismic acquisition is carried out by human-induced sound waves (by airgun or vibrators) that are recorded, once reflected...

In the complete paper, the authors demonstrate that, even with legacy marine streamer surveys, an appropriate work flow...

... where the combination of oil-based-mud systems and small wellbore diameters (approximately 6 in.) at the target zones are the only way to minimize wellbore-stability problems. Data acquisition is also challenged because logging-while-drilling technologies are sometimes limited in small wellbores...

Only five data acquisitions are shown to overlap; however, any change in interpretation can lead to revision and iteration of several interdependent segments...

... of, advanced seismic acquisition and processing to improve cost efficiency for future plays. Nevertheless, success through both oil and gas exploration was achieved. Enhanced short-term cash flow and improved capital efficiency resulted while significant commercial oil and gas volumes were discovered. During...

..., in this past year, we witnessed several examples of marriage between these two themes. In other words, necessity for survival in hard times provided the impetus for innovation. For example, in one case of land seismic, the acquisition system was redesigned. This started with the stripping down of the nodal...

The methodology used in this paper eliminates all human errors while reducing the time and cost of acquisition when acquiring pressure and temperature readings from analog gauges by using computer vision. These improvements in the input parameters resulted...

... completions and midstream partnerships—that have accounted for much of the play’s output increases. Those companies began entering the play a few years ago when many of the bigger operators were turning away from dry gas. The mergers and acquisitions continued through 2018, when, notably, Aethon struck a deal...
