Ocean bottom seismic a key technology offshore West Africa

摘要

Seabed seismic data acquisition can be applied to many seismic and geological challenges and may improve reservoir characterization and management. The technology has in recent years become strategic for many oil companies in their de-risking of wells and recovery factor improvement.By placing sensors on the seafloor and decoupling the source and receiver, the acquisition layout and equipment ensures a number of benefits and it proves ocean bottom seismic (OBS) delivers results unique to this technology while resolving many streamer seismic limitations.
