After building 3D HR regional velocity models almost everywhere in the world (2,500,000 km²), the regional project we conducted this year with Murphy Oil Corporation in the Tano Basin, Ivory Coast, was our first in Africa. The challenge remained the same: integrating data of various types (seismic velocities, horizons, well velocities) and ages through 3D […]

When one of the supermajors expressed interest in having an optimal tool for depth conversion in Danish waters, they turned to us. Although they provided some of the data used to build the RVM, most of it came from the GEUS database. Thanks to GEUS’s efforts to make subsurface data easily available in recent years, […]

A new onshore velocity model has been developed for the onshore Canning Basin of Western Australia through a collaboration between Estimages and Buru Energy. The project was enabled by co-funding under the Western Australian State Government’s Energy Analysis Program (EAP) initiative to encourage exploration of petroleum and geothermal resources in the state of Western Australia, […]

In 2023, for the first time, ESTIMAGES worked on 3D onshore regional velocity models (onshore Perth, onshore Canning). The challenge was high, especially due to the various qualities of the input data. The reconciliation of seismic velocities, well time-depth functions, and interpretations was not easy. But 3D non-stationary geostatistics coupled with geological and geophysical expertise […]
