Testing a seismic prospect
The EM data acquired for Murphy Sabah Oil Co. Ltd was used to evaluate a prospect identified from a flatspot in the seismic data and to investigate some poorly defined leads. Clearplay Test provided the ideal combination of a powerful source and sensitive receivers, world-leading data processing and 3D modelling - and effective integration with other data.
Reducing drilling risk
The main aim was to lower the risk involved in drilling a prospect in a reservoir containing non-commercial gas. As the above image shows, an EM anomaly confirmed a seismic flatspot, both laterally and in depth.Therefore, the risk of drilling a low-saturation, non-commercial reservoir was reduced. The subsequent well encountered a good quality gas reservoir with a saturation of commercial potential.
