Ardiseis and CGG complete highest-density seismic survey for onshore and oddshoreMonday, 12 February 2018 06:05CGG deploying streamer spread during offshore seismic survey. (Image source: CGG)Ardiseis, subsidiary of the Arabian Geophysical and Surveying Company (ARGAS), and its technology partner, CGG, have completed the world’s highest-density broadband seismic survey for onshore and offshoreThe ultra-high density of the data recorded on the West-Kalabsha survey on behalf of Apache Corporation (Apache) aims to take the quality of seismic that a step forward. Apache aims to deliver reservoir characterisation-ready broadband seismic data from a 2,000 sq km, ultra-dense survey, representing 72mn traces per sq km, which is two-to-three times denser than any survey acquired to date worldwide. In addition, Ardiseis used CGG’s broadband suite of technologies, CleanSweep™ and EmphaSeis™, to acquire the required low-frequency-rich broadband data, which is free of the harmonic noise contamination that has so far hindered industry adoption of true broadband high-productivity Vibroseis acquisition. The benefits include reduced costs, increased chances of identifying secondary prospects, efficient field development plans and earlier returns on investment.
