CGG Awarded Equinor OBN Imaging
Contract in Brazil
Paris, France – May 10, 2021
CGG has been awarded a major contract by Equinor
for the seismic imaging of its Bacalhau 3D ocean bottom node (OBN)
survey covering 409 sq km currently being acquired in Brazil’s
deepwater Santos Basin. Final products for the fully imaged dataset
are expected to be delivered within ten months after the survey is
scheduled to complete in May 2021.
The project is already underway at CGG’s Rio de
Janeiro subsurface imaging center where its highly experienced team
of geoscientists are employing CGG’s industry-leading proprietary
imaging technologies, including reverse time migration, time-lag
full-waveform inversion (TLFWI) and interbed multiple attenuation,
to address pre-salt illumination challenges caused by the presence
of very thick stratified salt. Combining OBN data with TLFWI will
result in more detailed and reliable velocity model building and
imaging, bringing geological insight at post-salt, intra-salt and,
most importantly, at pre-salt levels. The resulting high-quality
subsurface image will reduce uncertainties and enable a better
structural interpretation to guide future drilling plans and
development of the world-class Bacalhau field.
Sophie Zurquiyah, CEO, CGG, said: “This new OBN
award, after the recent successful completion of several OBN
processing projects, confirms CGG’s position as the world-leading
OBN seismic imaging company. With our sixty-year track record in
Brazil, in-depth geological knowledge of the Santos Basin and
proprietary imaging capabilities for the Brazilian deep water,
clients know they can count on our expertise and technology to
deliver the best-possible pre-salt subsurface images to support
their critical field development decisions.”
