... A legacy oil/gas play in Appalachia called the Trenton/Black River (TBR) highlights the significant potential for HTR CO 2 storage in the region, which we illustrate via legacy examples, storage estimates from depleted oil/gas fields, and current CO 2 prospects. HTRs have a unique risk profile...

... In the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico estimation of subsalt velocities is key to generating a coherent seismic image used for prospect maturation. Furthermore, high fidelity seismic velocities can be used to estimate rock, fluid, and pressure parameters. However, a seismic velocity that generates...

... An important challenge usually faced by exploration teams is the need to establish and validate the economic potential of multiple deepwater prospects using seismic amplitudes while understanding the impact of these potential DHIs on prospect risking and volume resource estimations. Effective...

...-elastic (LPE) seismic inversion (Bachrach, 2018) were performed. The purpose of this study was to integrate all these elements to identify new leads in the area, reduce uncertainty and better assess the chance of success for new prospects located in a frontier exploration area. prospect american...

... Hydrocarbon prospect risking is a critical application in geophysics predicting well outcomes from a variety of data including geological, geophysical, and other information modalities. Traditional routines require interpreters to go through a long process to arrive at the probability of success...

... In 2017, a vertical CSEM multiclient survey (PM17250) was acquired on the Eastern part of the prolific Haltenbanken province of the Norwegian Sea and licensed by Concedo. The Haltenbanken province has been one of Concedo’s important areas of exploration focus, with numerous prospects identified...

... computational speed-up factor compared to the elastic inversion of the original dataset. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed technique by estimating the elastic properties of a potential hydrocarbon prospect located on the flank of a salt diapir. The retrieved elastic properties are then used...

... to investigate subsurface geology. However, not a single data source can solely determine all the parameters needed for the petroleum system’s confidence of success. In this study, two prospects were identified based on 3D seismic, well log and biostratigraphic indicators. The most advantageous prospect has...

... Improving seismic resolution and reducing velocity model uncertainty for the Zama prospect have been achieved in three phases and were applied on legacy NAZ streamer data with the use of incremental improvements in the processing and imaging workflows, coupled with the use of a priori...

ABSTRACT Forward modeling of a Miocene prospect (Plum Point) from recently acquired long offset, 2D broadband seismic demonstrates evidence of multiple fluids phases within the Chidley Basin, offshore Labrador. The presence of liquid hydrocarbons in what has generally been thought of as a gas...

... and prestack seismic data. The methodology applied involves (1) the conditioning and modeling of well-log data to several plausible geologic scenarios at the prospect location, (2) the conditioning and inversion of prestack seismic data for P- and S-wave impedance estimation, and (3) the quantitative...

Marisko, and the three other prospects are tilted fault blocks. The proven reservoir in Hvitveis and the targeted reservoir...

... ABSTRACT The Aera Joint Venture (Shell & Exxon) in California has an excellent land position for near-field exploration, but the rough topography and complex lithology cause poor seismic data quality, making it challenging for processing and to identify new drillable prospects. The JV team...

... One of the most difficult tasks that an exploration geologist has to undertake is to correctly assess the economic viability of a potential prospect and the risks associated with drilling it. This is made especially challenging because of uncertainties associated with any single final image...

... ABSTRACT We present a case study from the Hoop area of the Barents Sea, in which seismic, well log and controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) data were integrated within a rock physics framework, to provide a robust assessment of the prospectivity of the area. Combining seismic and CSEM...

... ABSTRACT The M prospect is located in the B block flanking the northern boundary of the Doba basin in Chad, Africa. D-1, M-1 and M-2 wells were drilled by OPIC Africa Corporation in 2015 and 2016 respectively. After DST testing, M-1 and M-2 wells successfully discovered oil with good...
