CGG delivers final pre-STM data for Hobo 3D multi-client survey in Midland basin
HOUSTON -- CGG announced today that the final processed time volumes (Orthorhombic Kirchhoff PreSTM) from its recent Hobo 3D multi-client survey in the highly prospective Midland basin are now available for license.
This Howard County, Texas, project delivers 342 mi2 of wide-azimuth seismic data with ultra-low-frequency content down to 3Hz for optimal reservoir characterization. The seismic data is available now and will be complemented by a full reservoir optimization package that will be available in July 2017 and includes petrophysics, quantitative interpretation, RoqScan quantitative mineralogy, and also geochemistry and geomechanics. This package will deliver a comprehensive reservoir study of elastic rock properties, fracture information and lithological volumes that will assist with effective borehole location and completion planning.
Luc Schlumberger, executive V.P., multi-client & new ventures, CGG, said: “Hobo builds on our high-quality 3D multi-client coverage of the Permian basin, which already includes the Avalon, Tunstill and Dixieland surveys, and is being extended further with our ongoing new 293-mi2 Gypsy survey next to Hobo. By tying the seismic data to the geology with a full reservoir optimization package we can better support the industry in developing an understanding of where to drill to get the best from the Spraberry and Wolfcamp formations.”
