Value creation by a long-term time-lapse seismic processing approach on the Heidrun field

摘要

Statoil has, over the past 15 years, routinely used time-lapse (4D) seismic surveys to help maximize recovery and production efficiency of its hydrocarbon reserves. During this time the company has built an extensive portfolio of fields that are covered by multiple vintages of time-lapse seismic data (Figure 1), and a high level of activity is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
