Our Evolving View of Time-Lapse Seismic Monitoring: 20 years of the same old Teal South data
Prof Wayne Pennington
The first ocean-bottom time-lapse seismic studies for reservoir monitoring were conducted at Teal South in the Gulf of Mexico. The data from this field, including one legacy streamer survey and two post-production ocean-bottom surveys have been used repeatedly to demonstrate new aspects of analysis and interpretation. This seminar will walk through that history, since 1998, with examples from recent publications.
