Characteristics and Applications of Ultra-High Resolution 3D Marine Seismic System "P-Cable" - Oil Reservoir Characterization and Studies on Gas Hydrate, Fault and CCS


Abstract
Since its first successful concept test in 2001, especially after the market launch of its commercial system in 2010, P-cable has been widely used and continuously improved through around 80 different academic and commercial programs with a total of more than 4,000km2 of data acquisition. P-Cable is now recognized and reported by several research organizations and oil companies as a unique 3D marine seismic acquisition system with unmatched ultra-high resolution. Practical characteristics of the system and its resolution of 3D images are reviewed and confirmed through several real applications including oil reservoir characterizations as well as gas hydrate, fault, CCS and geo-hazard risk studies.
