Updates about global exploration and production activities and developments.

The companies have finished a seismic survey of an underexplored area of the Bonaparte Basin offshore northwest Australia.

This paper discusses the approach used to sectorize a mature giant carbonate reservoir located onshore Abu Dhabi for the purposes of reservoir management, offtake, and injection balancing.

Since the late 1930s, the offshore industry has advanced from the first platform in 14 ft of water to the ultradeepwater 20K era. Driven by seismic, drilling, and development breakthroughs, the industry has pushed into deeper waters, high-pressure reservoirs, and new frontiers like Guyana, continually expanding the limits of offshore exploration.

The Norwegian data company has launched a 3D seismic survey in the Equatorial Margin area.

Reducing greenhouse-gas emissions with geologic carbon storage will require a new way to model rock physics.

A May expedition identified 10 mud volcanos on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, and geochemical and biostratigraphy tests are underway to determine the age of the mud and the potential for hydrocarbons.

The combined effort aims to reduce the time necessary for and increase the detail and accuracy of seismic interpretation, including for carbon sequestration studies.

This paper describes an effort to use multiple technologies to better understand an Arkoma Basin reservoir and the interdisciplinary relationship between the reservoir’s subsurface hazards and a stimulation treatment.

The authors of this paper describe a seismic reprocessing campaign for an Egyptian oil field that had yielded poor seismic data.
