Two three dimensional (3-D) seismic surveys are to be performed to investigate the geopressured-geothermal reservoir of the Dow/DOE Sweezy No. 1 well, Parcperdue Louisiana. 3-D surveys are superior to 2-D surveys for reasons of positioning of reflections on displays, availability of data surfaces and decreased interference of data. Two surveys are to be performed and specially processed to detect the actual volume of the reservoir which yields fluids upon production. Part of the special processing is subtraction of the first survey, pre-production, from the second survey, post production. If successful, these techniques promise to aid the industry in efficient production of geopressured-geothermal reservoirs.
