MCG MC2D data for the 23rd Round in Norway
06 February 2015The Barents Well Tie MC2D was extended eastward in 2014 into the newly opened Barents Sea South East area, giving excellent seismic ties from exploration wells drilled in the western part of the Barents Sea and into the announced blocks in the east. In addition, MCG has, in cooperation with SMNG, reprocessed a selection of existing 2D seismic profiles in the Russian part of the Barents Sea in order to tie known geological structures and discoveries such as Stockman and Sevmorkildinskoye into the un-explored Norwegian Barents Sea South East area.
In cooperation with Exploro, MCG acquired and processed a Super High Resolution MC2D covering the announced blocks in the Hoop area, covering the Wisting and Hanssen very shallow Jurassic oil discoveries. This Super High Resolution MC2D helps the oil companies mapping out the very detail distribution and thicknesses of the Jurassic reservoir rocks. In addition, this survey enables the oil companies to achieve a better understanding of the numerous seismic anomalies than what could be achieved with traditional and modern broadband seismic. The very high resolution will also help mapping double flatspots (gas/oil and oil/water) where these exist.
The final processing of both the Barents Well Tie and the Super High Resolution MC2Ds are completed and the datasets are available now. Additional products such as angle stacks and PSTM gathers are also available now.
The deadline for 23rd Round application is December 2, 2015.
