Key Regional Applications

Crosswell Seismic Imaging has been successfully employed in many regions throughout the world over the past decade. While this technology is useful in delivering a deeper understanding of reservoirs and surrounding areas, there are a few key locations where high-resolution views are particularly beneficial based on the local conditions and applications.

Middle East

With declining field activity and the increased need for the characterization of subsurface systems in this region, Crosswell Seismic Imaging is ideally suited to Waterflood and EOR Applications, along with the search for Bypassed Reserves. Crosswell Seismic Imaging technology has been shown to reduce risk in waterflood and EOR Applications, while allowing for valuable proactive planning over the life of the field by providing critical insight into the reservoir.

The 100x resolution capability of Crosswell Seismic Imaging provides for an enhanced understanding of reservoir heterogeneities as well as uncovering thief zones and natural fractures specific to the Middle East. In addition, Crosswell Seismic Imaging technology provides real-time monitoring of waterflood operations during secondary recovery. In this case, a baseline is established from which reservoir changes can be accurately monitored over time.

Mexico

Mexico’s focus on Waterflood and EOR Applications, and the search for Bypassed Reserves has created an outstanding opportunity for the effective application of Crosswell Seismic Imaging technology.

Crosswell Seismic Imaging has been utilized within Mexico’s Poza Rica fields and Chicontepec field where its ultra-high-resolution capability has contributed to a deeper understanding of the reservoirs and surrounding interwell areas.

South America

Crosswell Seismic Imaging has also been utilized in Ecuador to assist in location and recovery of Bypassed Reserves, as well as in EOR Applications. The knowledge gained through high-resolution Crosswell Imaging has contributed greatly to the ultimate understanding of the individual reservoirs in this country.

In addition, Crosswell Seismic Imaging technology has been engaged to assist in heavy oil operations within Venezuela and Brazil.

Canada

The oil sands of Canada benefit greatly from Crosswell Seismic Imaging technology in delivering an unmatched view and ultimate understanding of the nature of the reservoirs, leading to more efficient, effective SAGD Applications. In addition, Schlumberger DeepLook - CS has been employed to enhance the production of Unconventional Gas. Our 100X resolution gives operators a distinct advantage in the ability to better understand the nature of tight gas, shale gas, and coal bed methane formations.

United States

Equipped with high-resolution Crosswell Seismic Imaging technology, operators within the U.S. can be confident they have the information they need to develop effective and efficient drilling and production strategies, leading to optimized recovery over the life cycle of the field.

Crosswell Seismic Imaging has been utilized across the U.S. for more than a decade, in the search for Bypassed Reserves. Crosswell Seismic Imaging has also been used in the search for Unconventional Gas and to monitor and optimize Waterflood, steam flood, and EOR Applications. In a non-oil and gas application, Crosswell Seismic Imaging is being used to ensure the long-term safety of CO₂ Sequestration operations.
