3-D seismic case history of the dawn 156 pinnacle reef
- Union Gas Limited, Chatham, Ontario (Canada)

Silurian pinnacle reefs are used for gas storage in southern Ontario and southeast Michigan. These reefs underlie surface culture that is frequently incompatible with enhanced reservoir exploitation techniques such as 3-D seismic. Further complications are encountered due to an increased awareness of environmental concerns and past exploration or local production practices. Employing proactive project management in a team-oriented environment, Union Gas Ltd., successfully conducted a 2732 ac 3-D seismic survey in 1993-1994. The project brought together a multidisciplinary team that included company employees, consultants, service companies, and surface landowners. This case history covers the project from conceptualization through the team-building processes and final selection of additional drilling locations. The project management philosophy employed has potential application in the upstream sector.
