CGGVeritas deploys SeisMovie Monitoring for Heavy Oil
Exploration / Seismic, Nov 16 2009 (Digital Energy Journal)
- CGGVeritas has announced the successful completion of the acquisition phase of a first continuous land 3D SeisMovie project conducted for Shell Canada in the Peace River region, Alberta, Canada.
he project is a joint technology trial with Shell Canada; data acquisition spanned 90 days of continuous operations and was completed with Zero HSE Incidents.
SeisMovie is a patented reservoir monitoring technology that is particularly applicable to steam-assisted heavy oil production. On this project, multiple permanently buried SeisMovie sources were continuously and simultaneously activated over a period of three months to collect up to 1 TB of raw data daily.
After real-time in-field automatic processing, a daily stack was produced. These data are currently being analysed, in a collaborative effort between Shell and CGGVeritas, to extract a time-lapse reservoir signal.
