3-D Seismic Data Acquisition Is Providing Vital Information About The Floors Of The Oceans

Some of the best in technology exists in the 3D Seismic Data Acquisition of important information that is being collected and gathered in surveys by many consulting firms fleets of vessels designed to cover the waters of the world.

One of the most powerful geophysical technologies is 3D Seismic where geophysical companies profile the sea floor and use sound to create images thousands of feet below the subsurface.

This information is used by many different companies and industries throughout the world. This seismic data is collected, processed, interpreted and then used to help make decisions for many aspects of the ocean floors.

The seismic interpretation of this 3D imaging is vital for scientists to make intelligent decisions concerning the value of the floor beneath the water.

Right now perhaps the biggest users of this information are the gas and oil companies.

Of course they want to know if the floor has potential for new sources of gas and oil to supply the world with energy.

These companies are constantly engaged in looking for new sites that may have potential for drilling.

This 3D Seismic Data Acquisition also is valuable for the shipping industry.

The world is concerned about the safety of sea travel and keeping the shipping lanes safe and secure.

This type of information is providing security for all vessels of the world.

This type of system of protection is vital to keep water borne traffic moving and free from accidents.

This certainly helps to protect the environment and helps to keep the waters of the world safe and secure from disasters.

The companies that do this work are concerned for the environmental protection of all the waterways and the floors beneath any water reservoirs.

Companies like Geokinetics and others that do this type of work are using the latest in technology for their work.

It is a highly skilled and technical approach to explore the land beneath any water source.

A company must have experience and the know how to map the floors of the oceans and other water areas.

There is special software that is used to create a 3D picture of the floor.

The processing of this information takes the skills of technicians and large vessels on top of the water to perform the actions that are needed.

Scientists then go to work to provide interpretation to all of this data.

From this point decisions can then be made on whether the areas have potential as sites for new fuel deposits.

This is all done with 3D Seismic Data Acquisition and it is a field that is growing and being used more and more every year.

Documenting Visual Quality Controls on the Evaluation of Petroleum Reservoir-Rocks Through Ontology

By Felipe Ingletto Victoreti
The understanding of these controls is essential for the construction of models for the systematic characterization and prediction of the quality (porosity, permeability) of petroleum reservoirs during their exploration and production. The description and documentation of key petrographic features is an important tool for the evaluation of reservoir quality that try to minimize the uncertainty associated to visual recognition of the features.

Tackling Complex Reservoirs Through Systematic Petrographic Characterization

By Luiz Fernando De Ros
Despite the spectacular advances in seismic and log acquisition and interpretation, and in 3D and 4D modeling, the risks involved in the exploration of new, deeper, depositional, tectonic or diagenetically-complex prospects remain large. This, essentially because these sophisticated methods simply lack information on an essential part of petroleum systems: the reservoir. Most new prospects represent clastic or carbonate rocks with strong diagenesis.

Data Acquisition Systems: Analog to Digital

By Jamie Doyle
Data acquisition and data acquisition systems (known as DAS) take analog waveforms, collected by specific sensors that generate electrical signals into digital data for processing. Most of the computers that we think about today are strictly digital but the first computers in last century were analog, so most of us are unfamiliar with taking analog waveforms in any form. (Think about the change in taking one's temperature - from the mercury filled glass stick that you stuck under your tongue to the digital ear probe; from analog measurement to a digital method.)
