GeoStreamer Complete Wavefield Seismic in the Browse Basin, Australia
Monday 26 September 2016
The Browse Basin offshore Australia is characterized by interlayered carbonates and clastics and has historically been interpreted as a gas play. Signal penetration has been problematic and seismic data from this area has generally been poor. This has prevented a clear assessment of deeper structures with hydrocarbon potential. Techniques relying on the reflection strength of the seismic waves to identify possible oil and gas accumulations, such as amplitude versus offset (AVO), have been unreliable and have resulted in a number of dry wells. Resolving shallow drilling hazards is also difficult.
