Imaging through gas-filled sediments using marine shear-wave data
- Statoil, Trondheim (Norway)
Marine multicomponent sea-floor data of excellent quality have been acquired over the Tommeliten Alpha field. The most dominating wave modes are interpreted to be conventional compressional PP-waves and converted PS-waves. The most important geophysical problem associated with the Tommeliten Alpha field is the presence of a gas chimney obscuring the conventional 3-D seismic image of the reservoir zone. The converted PS-waves effectively undershoot the gas chimney, leading to substantially improved images of the reservoir. Subsequent interpretation indicates the Tommeliten Alpha structure is a faulted dome.
