EM Tech As a Cost-Saving Complement to Seismic

Over the last decade or so, marine controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) technology has proven to be an effective tool to de-risk deepwater, really high cost drilling decisions. Yet it, along with magnetotellurics technology (MT), has both good days and bad days in the continuing uncertain financial environment.

Exploring the Link between Burial History and Rock Physics Properties: Interview with Per Avseth

How does diagenesis affect rock physics? What is the relationship of the burial history to the rock physics? Both have a dramatic impact on the rock physics properties of not only the reservoir, but also the source and seals. Welcome to an interview with Per Avseth, who discusses rock physics and quantitative seismic interpretation. He also talks with us about how developing an effective rock physics model requires the integration of geological, geophysical, geochemical, and petrophysical information.

AAPG Angola Chapter Quarterly Seminar - April, 2015

The focus of the AAPG Angola Chapter's quarterly seminar was entitled GeoStreamers - The preferred broadband solution for Imaging and Characterization. Using dual-sensor streamer technology has not only allowed towing the streamer deeper in a quieter recording environment but has significantly increased the amount of reliably measured low frequency information without compromising the high frequencies and the AVO/AVA information.

VG Abstract By Juan I. Soto

Salt versus Shales in Continental Margins and Orogens

In comparison with the known boundary conditions that promote salt deformation and flow in sedimentary basins, the processes involved with the mobilization of clay-rich detrital sediments are far less well established. This talk will use seismic examples in different tectonic settings to document the variety of shale geometries that can be formed under brittle and ductile deformations.
