CGG said it has delivered the final data from its 38,000-sq-km Encontrado multiclient reprocessing project across the Gulf of Mexico’s (GoM) Perdido Fold Belt area to Mexico’s Comision Nacional de Hidrocarburos (CNH) and the industry.
The project included reverse-time migration (RTM), Kirchhoff migration and associated data volumes in an area straddling the Mexico-U.S. border in the GoM.
“The final images obtained from the advanced high-end processing sequence will allow detailed geological interpretation and be suitable for both basin-scale exploration and potential prospect evaluation,” CGG CEO Jean-Georges Malcor said in the release. “By undertaking the Encontrado reprocessing and a JumpStart geoscience program, CGG is playing a leading role in helping to turn this frontier area into a well-understood basin.”
CGG said the “significant uplift in the imaging of these final products over the Fast Trax RTM data delivered last year is evident throughout. As a result, the prospective reservoirs can be identified and mapped in unprecedented detail.”
In addition, CGG said it has started a JumpStart fully integrated geoscience program to complement the seismic data from the Encontrado project. JumpStart programs are designed to review, validate, calibrate and interpret all available seismic, well and geologic data to deliver all data to one place for a comprehensive understanding of the petroleum systems present, the company said.
