Your Challenges
Challenging oil prices and competitive new energy sources require oil and gas companies to find and produce hydrocarbons at both lower cost and greater safety. Making decisions in exploration, development, production, and reservoir management with minimal risk is now vitally important.
Today, the oil and gas industry relies heavily upon seismic data to make decisions. However, due to inadequate seismic processing technologies and overly simplified seismic interpretation procedures, the industry is exposed to a large degree of uncertainty. The resulting costs are unsuccessful exploration, development, and production drilling as well as poor reservoir management.
Are the following situations familiar to you?
- Drilling structural traps based on time-migrated seismic data, only to discover the structures don’t exist
- Incurring losses due to poorly imaged pre-stack or post-stack seismic data and their derived inversions
- Finding unexpected mud loss in development wells drilled through fractured reservoirs as a consequence of simple qualitative fracture interpretation
- Drilling oil production wells into fractured reservoirs that quickly turn into high water-cut wells
- Failing to find a reservoir through delineation wells despite a successful discovery well on a mapped geobody based on conventionally interpreted seismic data
- Drilling a non-productive well into an interpreted unconventional play “sweet spot” based on poorly-processed and inverted seismic data
- Each of these situations can result in multi-million dollar losses, but can be mitigated by using more accurate data.
