Episode 236: Unlocking the Eastern Mediterranean’s Seismic Secrets

“The Zohr discovery is an interesting one because all of a sudden it makes everybody sort of scratch their head and go like, ‘So what have we missed elsewhere?'”

Dr. Walter Rietveld discusses September’s The Leading Edge, which focuses on the Eastern Mediterranean. In this episode:

  • Explore the complexities of the Messenian interval, a geographically variable layer that creates significant hurdles for seismic imaging.
  • Learn how innovative technologies like multi-azimuth seismic and ocean bottom node (OBN) acquisition and advanced processing techniques like full waveform inversion (FWI) are being used to overcome these imaging challenges.
  • Examine the success story of the Atoll field, where OBN acquisition and advanced imaging led to significant improvements in seismic data quality, enabling better reservoir characterization and well planning.
