Q-Marine provides the critical factors needed for enhanced reservoir characterization and commercially successful 4D surveys:
- Seismic data with broader frequency bandwidth and higher resolution
- Increased signal-to-noise ratio, which also aids interpreters in attribute analysis
- Reliable amplitude information for true quantitative reservoir property prediction
- Unique calibration, accurate positioning, and dynamic streamer steering for repeatability
Dramatic improvements from Q-Marine data
Q-Marine data highlight a dramatic improvement in resolution over conventional data in an area of complex faulting. Q-Marine revealed a fault with a throw of less than 15 m and identified individual sand bodies within the main target zone. This improved information about the reservoir aided in generating a more complicated and accurate reservoir model. Newly identified reservoir characteristics led to the repositioning of the development well in zones with better reservoir thickness and distant from the fault.
