Seismic surveys play a crucial role in subsurface resource exploration, particularly in the oil and gas industries. By utilizing seismic technology, companies can obtain accurate data regarding subsurface geological structures, which is vital for determining potential reserves and reducing exploration risks.
Below are some of the key benefits of seismic surveys:
- Accurate Navigation Data
One of the primary benefits of seismic surveys is obtaining accurate navigation data in line with specified requirements. This accuracy allows seismic surveys to provide precise insights into the location and depth of geological formations, enabling more effective and efficient exploration planning. - Subsurface Interpretation
Through data collection and bringing cuttings to the surface, seismic surveys enable geologists to conduct more detailed subsurface interpretations. The cuttings produced during the survey provide valuable information on the composition of soil and rock layers beneath the surface, aiding in a better understanding of the geological structure. - Optimized Explosive Charging
In seismic surveys, the proper charging of explosives (source) based on parameter tests is critical to obtain data that meets the target. Optimized parameters allow for sufficient energy release to generate seismic waves that penetrate various subsurface layers and reflect back to the sensors, yielding clear and precise data. - Minimizing Noise for Quality Data
The quality of data obtained from seismic surveys depends heavily on minimizing noise during the data acquisition process. By reducing these disturbances, the data becomes cleaner and easier to process in the next stages. High-quality data significantly assists in producing accurate seismic interpretations, which are essential for making informed exploration decisions.
Seismic Survey Execution
- Positioning: The topography team determines the position of receiver and shot points, and prepares the path by clearing obstacles and constructing footbridges or stairs.
- Drilling: Shot points are drilled and filled with explosives (source) at specified depths, based on prior parameter test results.
- Shooting: Conducted once the drilled holes (shot points) are sufficiently filled with explosives, and with company approval. The shooting process is carried out while minimizing noise.
- Seismic Data Processing: Seismic data is processed both in the field and finalized at the Seismic Data Processing Center to ensure accurate results.
