Resolution

High-resolution data for more reliable processing and inversion results

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 helps interpreters in attribute analysis
• reliable amplitude information for true quantitative reservoir property prediction
• unique calibration, accurate positioning, and dynamic streamer steering for repeatability.

Q-Marine data provide dramatic improvements

Q-Marine data give you a better understanding of complex faulting. Q-Marine data revealed a fault with a throw of less than 15 meters and identified individual sand bodies within the main target zone. This improved information about the reservoir generated 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, distant from the fault.

There are three key challenges for any reservoir-oriented seismic:
Resolution, Reliability, and Repeatability.
