Miros - Real-time Ocean Insights’ Post

#DrillingHazardsSiteSurvey (DHSS) Expert Group of the #IOGP #GeomaticsCommittee is making a fantastic progress on the revision of the Guidelines and Technical Notes! IOGP #Guideline (373-18-1) and its supporting set of #TechnicalNotes (373-18-2) provides industry guidance on the delivery of appropriate site survey clearance of marine drilling locations. In tandem with the protection of sensitive seabed environments, such surveys underpin the safe delivery of offshore rig emplacement and top-hole drilling. The two IOGP Reports are widely adopted around the world by the oil and gas industry, and in some countries are used for the development of regulatory statements. The scarcity of documentation in this niche but critical area makes the two Reports truly unique. Keeping the material relevant and in alignment with the technology is essential. A massive thanks to the entire #DrillingHazardsSiteSurvey (DHSS) Expert Group, and its Chair Andrew (Andy) Hill for making such an excellent progress!

Today, the Norwegian Ministry announced the APA 2024 licensing round on the Norwegian continental shelf. APA 2024 will increase the available acreage with 37 new blocks added under the APA area. This expansion presents a significant opportunity for companies to expand their operations and contribute to the region's energy security. TGS continues to support successful exploration offshore Norway with an extensive portfolio of seismic data, including modern 3D towed-streamer and cutting-edge Ocean Bottom Node seismic data to provide the greatest subsurface insight. These are complemented with a broad suite of geophysical and geological products, including regional long-offset 2D seismic, a facies map browser, seafloor sampling and electromagnetic data. From frontier to ILX, TGS has the data and services to help with work programs, enabling informed subsurface investment decisions. Learn more: https://hubs.ly/Q02wyk3Q0 The application deadline is 12.00 noon on September 3, 2024. The aim is to award the new production licenses for the newly announced areas early in 2025. #TGS #Offshore #EnergyData #NorwegianContinentalShelf #APA2024

🌟 Next week, I will be representing the Fugro Brazilian Consultancy team at the CCUS Latin America event. 🌍 Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is an emerging field crucial for advancing towards a carbon-neutral and sustainable energy future. 🌱 📊 Measurement, Monitoring, and Verification (MMV) plans are essential for underground CO2 storage. I will present a poster on the main monitoring techniques used in CCUS projects, as reported in the literature. 🏢 Fugro has extensive experience in site characterization, risk assessment, and monitoring. We are well-prepared to plan, develop, and manage CCUS projects with confidence and expertise. 💼 SPE Brazil Section American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) SEG ABGP- Associação de Geólogos de Petróleo SBGf - Sociedade Brasileira de Geofísica #CCUS #CarbonCapture #Sustainability #EnergyFuture #CarbonNeutral #Fugro #Innovation #RockMechanics #Geotechnics #ClimateChange

An overview of marine seismic operations The Report provides an overview of marine seismic operations. Seismic surveying is commonly used in the industry for both exploration and monitoring of producing fields. The same seismic principles also apply to offshore CO2 storage projects. The Report aims to provide a common ground for operator(s), local regulatory bodies, or public stakeholders on understanding the methods, technology and terminology used for marine seismic operations. Having that common understanding should enable stakeholders to assess which technology and method to use for their need. It shall also provide the necessary basic understanding when discussing impact of marine seismic operations on the environment, and potential mitigation measures to reduce the impact to a minimum level. The scope and focus of this Report are on 2D and 3D towed marine seismic, seabed seismic, time lapse seismic, vertical seismic profiling, transition zone acquisition, and the different technologies involved with these methods.

🌊 𝗦𝗲𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲 Our Sub-surface Investigations Department is heading #offshore again. An accurate imaging of the subsurface conditions is an important prerequisite for the planning and development of offshore wind farms (OWF). Safety, of course, is paramount. All the people who go out on the vessel have undergone sea survival training beforehand. In the upcoming weeks geophysical data will be acquired. IWES is in charge of the acquisition, processing and preliminary interpretation of Ultra-High Resolution Multichannel Seismic data. This dataset will play an important role in risk mitigation for the OWF construction. 🎥 Find a few impressions in the video. #research #WeKnowHow Deutsche WindGuard Jude Castelino, Tim Daskevic, Ahmed Fahmy, Rajeswar Reddy Maraka, Raluca Opriș, Nicolas Peña Muñoz, Warren Pinto, Karl Rosenberger, Gabriela Sierra and Aslı Özmaral.

Day 2 SEG Middle East - Next Generation Geophysical Land & Shallow Water Acquisition Workshop. Another beautiful and sunny day in the Sultanate of Oman. Moving from Day 1’s (https://lnkd.in/dQc4xjA6) conversation centered around Compressive Sensing (CS) design, today was a showcase of new technologies in the space of Sources and receivers with a deep dive in the acquisition techniques and platform. New technology in seismic acquisition discussion took the shine of the day. It was obvious all present (Clients, Vendors, Academia and Observers) came with a learner’s mindset as communication was aimed at sharing knowledge. Different dimensions of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) - its pros and cons, constrained and unconstrained Vibrator operations (path selection), diverse vibrators based on business need, source types for inaccessible areas (mountainous, urbanized, facilities etc), nodes on fleet of drones, charge weight impact. Yes, it was a discussion around technical but we didn’t miss out on thinking sustainability, so we expanded the conversation to environment and Safety. Below mind blowing questions for your consideration: Would you go for MEMS over Geophones or vice-versa? If yes Why? Could it be Price, Geology of the area, Client need or none of these? What do you think about results of MEMS using 2 different types of sensors? Can we keep acquiring noisy data since processing can take care of it? - Just keep shooting.... Processing team will do the magic? Does a node need to be buried or not? Is it possible to acquire cost-effective, high-density surveys while minimizing footprints? Imaging deeper targets require heavy weight sources. True or false? Is a small charge a weak charge? What are the ingredients for a sustainable step change in Trace density?   Cost & HSE are inversely proportional to seismic trace density. True or False? Can ground roll be minimized using vibrator arrays? Do you know that MEMS result vary from one manufacturer to the other? How can you manage cost and noise influence on your vibrator automated path design? Source or receiver decimation – Does this mean low quality data? Field trials/Testing is the key word. And the list continues... Interesting fact is that All the “Novel technologies” discussed in these sessions are not Novel to Petroleum Development Oman Geophysical team as we keep leading in the business of new ideas and technology - Always staying head. Thumbs up to our partnering vendors. Day 3 will feature most of Petroleum Development Oman implementation of discussed technologies from Day 1 & 2.
