Seismic Lens 🔎

Seismic lens technology provides a detailed local seismic profile/cube/snapshot of the area in the point of interest

Seismic vibrator generates a series of stable signals which accumulate at receivers

Signal accumulation enhances the seismic resolution

Data is processed during the survey and first results are available live

Oil and gas exploration in complex geology environment

Local sweet spots, fractured reservoirs, faults, reefs

Ranking a prospect inventory

Prioritization seismic acquisition blocks in a large areas

High well costs due to geosteering errors in horizontal drilling

Source is located at the point of interest

200+ signals are generated with the seismic vibrator

4 receivers lines are 5 km each

Receivers offset is 10 m

Covered area ~20 km2

Survey duration 4-6 hrs

Data processing, interpretation and report in weeks timeframe

Resolving the 13m thick object with the seismic lens signal accumulation

Accumulation of the signal from one source increases the signal to noise ratio improving the cross section resolution

Better characterization of the geological structures allows accurate well placement and increases exploration and appraisal well success rate

Reduced uncertainty in reservoir top and base minimizes the geosteering errors and saves costs in horizontal drilling

Weeks timeframe for acquisition, processing and final report allows to prioritize the prospects before a costly drilling or a full size seismic acquisition

Environmentally friendly source minimizes the footprint and eases the permitting work

Seismic lens pilot tests were conducted in East Siberia, Russia in 2018-2019

Signal accumulation concept proved to be valid

Signal to noise ratio confirmed to be low fo high frequency resolution at large times

Processing software tested and updated
