Summary
The oil and gas industry is experiencing a period of change and economic uncertainty. Its continued viability is dependent on being able to make the most of the resources at disposal. Structurally conformable 2D to 3D interpolation is a technology that maximizes the potential of existing 2D data and minimizes the financial risks associated with acquiring new 3D data. Two case studies are outlined. Case study 1 is offshore North East Greenland, an area consisting of complex, terminating unconformities and which is inaccessible to 3D streamers, which has been mapped in 3D using SCI. Case study 2 is offshore Mid Norway, where a vast library of vintage 2D and 3D datasets have been utilized to create one continuous 3D volume, again with SCI. These case studies demonstrate the versatility and the validity of SCI technology.
