CONFERENCES AND SEMINARS
EMGS Seminar
Improving Exploration Performance with EM Technology
Kari Husebye EMGS, Sales Coordinator
Electromagnetic Geoservices (EMGS) invites you to a one-day seminar designed to provide a complete overview of EM-imaging (seabed-logging) technology and how it can be applied. We look forward to seeing you at the Clarion Hotel in Stavanger on 2 April 2008.
Seabed logging is an exploration method that uses electromagnetic (EM) energy to find offshore hydrocarbons without drilling wells. Today the EM sector is thriving and most of the worlds leading energy companies are using seabed logging to reduce finding costs, increase discoveries and vastly improve their exploration performance.
Electromagnetic imaging helps to determine hydrocarbon presence and inform life-of-field decisions, from pre-licensing to asset abandonment. Application areas include prospect finding, prospect evaluation, field appraisal and field development. Our customers routinely rely on EM-imaging technology to accelerate their exploration and development programmes, maximise the available resources and gain a competitive edge.
Seminar Objectives
Offshore exploration-drilling success rates still average only 25%, partly because traditional exploration relies on indirect evidence. This seminar is designed to provide a complete overview of the technology and how it can be applied.
Seminar Outline
During the seminar we will cover aspects related to survey design, modelling, and evaluation of the seabed-logging response in different settings, as well as the acquisition, imaging and interpretation of seabed logging and marine magnetotelluric (MT) data. Finally we will discuss the increased value that seabed logging and other EM methods bring to the exploration process.
