CGGVeritas Deploys SeisMovie Monitoring Solution for Heavy Oil Production.CGGVeritas has announced the successful completion of the acquisition phase of a first continuous land 3D SeisMovieao project conducted for Shell Canada Shell Canada Limited (TSX: SHC) is one of Canada's largest integrated oil companies. Exploration and production of oil, natural gas and sulphur is a major part of its business, as well as the marketing of gasoline and related products through the company's approximately 1,800 in the Peace River region, Alberta, Canada. The project is a joint technology trial with Shell Canada; data acquisition spanned 90 days of continuous operations and was completed with Zero HSE HSE House HSE Health and Safety Executive HSE Helsinki School of Economics HSE Hamilton Southeastern (High School) HSE Health, Safety & Environment HSE Higher School of Economics (Moscow, Russia) Incidents. SeisMovie is a patented* reservoir monitoring technology that is particularly applicable to steam-assisted heavy oil production.

After real-time in-field automatic processing, a daily stack was produced. These data are currently being analysed, in a collaborative effort between Shell and CGGVeritas, to extract a time-lapse reservoir signal. Jean-Jacques Postel, Executive Vice President, Land Acquisition Product Line, CGGVeritas, said: "SeisMovie is the only 4D seismic acquisition solution of its kind in the world. Its deployment enables companies to effectively monitor reservoir changes over long periods of time while minimizing human intervention and environmental impact. It is a safe, long-term solution for autonomous real-time monitoring of reservoirs. SeisMovie offers our clients the ability to see and utilize time-lapse effects to better understand the evolution of reservoir production and ultimately enhance recovery rates." 2009 Al Bawaba (www.albawaba.com) 2009 Al Bawaba (Albawaba.com) Provided by Syndigate.info an Albawaba.com company |
