Reservoir Characterization

Higher 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 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.
