Paper submitted to SEG Realizing the Energy Potential of Angola Symposium 2026, by Wadii El Karkouri and John Brittan (TGS)
Summary
To unlock the resource potential of Angola requires a combination of innovative geoscience both in acquisition and imaging and a commitment to the use of cutting-edge time-lapse seismic technology across the lifetime of production. In this paper we give an overview of the application of new acquisition and imaging technologies now being applied to data from offshore Angola. These technologies include extended frequency sources, elastic dynamic matching full waveform inversion (E-DMFWI), and 4D DM FWI.
