Minimizing Offshore Exploration Risks by Evaluating the Charge of Subsea Structures

摘要

Offshore exploration is a costly endeavor that entails multi-millions of dollars spent on the acquisition of seismic data, satellite data, and a variety of other data gathering endeavors to evaluate subsurface structures and systems. All of these technologies lend an understanding to the geologic structure of subsea systems, but do not address the critical question; are these structures charged?
