Maintaining Seismic-Focused Exploration During Downturn Yields Benefits

摘要

A conventional industry approach is to curtail seismic activity during a downturn,focusing on limiting new exploration and drilling production wells instead.This paper demonstrates how maintaining investment in high-quality 3D seismic during the last downturn,together with selective exploration,quality geoscience,application of new technologies,and efficiently maturing discoveries to early cash flow,was successful in sustaining future production while deploying capital efficiently.
