PGS is reprocessing data in a prolific petroleum production area West of Shetland in the UK North Sea
The company is merging and reprocessing some 16,000 km2 of data covering nine conventional and GeoStreamer 3D seismic surveys. The processing on FSB Vision will include a suite of noise and artifact removal steps, as well as full waveform inversion (FWI) based depth conversion. The imaging of subtle traps hosting Paleocene sand reservoirs at the Flett Basin flank and the Cretaceous section of the Corona Ridge is expected to improve substantially and provide new insights into these plays.
‘The area is characterized by a complex structural and geological history, which gives rise to multiple petroleum plays but also creates several features obstructing subsurface imaging based on reflection seismic data,’ said PGS.
Data will be ready in the summer of 2022.
