TGS Unveils the Roosevelt 3D Seismic Onshore Survey
TGS, a renowned global provider of energy data and intelligence, is excited to announce its first multi-client project in the Uinta Basin—the Roosevelt 3D seismic onshore survey. This ambitious initiative will cover 202 square miles of area, representing a significant milestone for TGS as it advances exploration efforts in this prominent basin in North America.
The Significance of the Roosevelt 3D Survey
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, expressed his enthusiasm for this project, noting, "The Roosevelt 3D survey marks a crucial step in our strategic expansion into the Uinta Basin. By leveraging advanced subsurface imaging technologies, we are set to deliver high-resolution data that greatly enhances geological modeling. This will help identify critical subsurface features and support informed decisions regarding reservoir exploration and development."
Cutting-Edge Techniques and Comprehensive Data
This survey aims to target key formations, including the Green River, Wasatch, and Mesaverde formations, utilizing an AVO & Phase Compliant processing workflow. Among the state-of-the-art techniques employed are Ray Based Image Correction & Optimization (RICO), Dynamic Matching diving wave and reflection Full Waveform Inversion (FWI), and OVT Pre-Stack Depth Migration (PSDM) and Pre-Stack Time Migration (PSTM), facilitated by the expert TGS Land processing team. Additionally, the survey incorporates data from 667 wells, including 459 LAS logs and 2,649 rasters, offering a robust dataset to enhance reservoir modeling.
Flexibility for Future Exploration
In anticipation of future exploration needs, the progressive design of this survey allows for adaptations according to the industry's evolving landscape. Plans to integrate depth imaging capabilities in future phases signify TGS's commitment to support ongoing exploration efforts. Moreover, with the inclusion of receiver tails, continuous data acquisition will be permitted, paving the way for long-term adaptability for upcoming exploration and development projects in the region.
Timeline for Data Acquisition
The recording phase for the Roosevelt 3D seismic survey is set to commence in late Q4. Final data acquisition is expected to wrap up by fall of the following year, with preliminary data set to be available throughout the year and a fully processed dataset slated for completion by year-end.
