Seabed logging can be used to establish the prospectivity of a block, informing licensing terms, bidding strategies and drill-or-drop decisions.
Prospect finding
Scanning techniques are becoming routinely used to find leads and prospects, accelerating the exploration process.
Field development
Detailed seabed-logging surveys may be used to inform field development programmes by showing hydrocarbon movements.
Seabed logging can increase the probability of correctly identifying the presence of hydrocarbons in a prospective reservoir, enabling prospect validation and ranking.
Seabed logging can be used to establish the extent and volume of reservoirs, reducing the number of wells required during field appraisal.
