Z-Seis Crosswell Imaging
Charts a Path to Hidden Reserves
For over ten years, Crosswell Imaging technology has been employed in accurately identifying bypassed oil in existing fields. Crosswell Imaging fills the information gap between 3-D surface seismic, VSP well logs, and production history, providing the most complete characterization of interwell geology possible. This proven technology is distinguished from any other seismic process by:
- Using direct imaging of critical reservoir characteristics, instead of statistical estimates
- Reducing drilling costs by allowing for more accurate identification of the pay zone
- Clearly imaging thickness and continuity of the reservoir
- Locating porosity streaks within the reservoir
- Identifying bypassed pay zones in wells and providing opportunities for low-cost recompletion strategies
In addition, the high-resolution view of the geological characteristics of the area between the wells delivered by Crosswell Imaging provides operators with the data needed to support intelligent in-fill drilling efforts and redevelopment strategies.
