TGS, a global leader in data and intelligence for the energy sector, has announced the start of an ambitious multi-client seismic reprocessing project in the Bonaparte Basin, Australia.
Advanced PSDM reprocessing with technology and FWI
With more than 19,000 kilometers of 2D and 3D data, this initiative seeks to optimize subsurface visualization using advanced technologies such as Prestack Depth Migration (PSDM) and Full Waveform Inversion (FWI). The Cygnus 3D and Cartier 3D seismic datasets will be reprocessed to generate a contiguous, high-resolution 3D volume covering 8,735 km².
In addition, the 2D data from Grand Ashmore and Vulcan will be subjected to demultiplication and tomographic modeling techniques, which will provide a more accurate picture of the deep reservoirs and a better regional geological understanding. This workflow will generate a 10,768 line-km reprocessed dataset.
Exploration potential in the Bonaparte Basin
The Bonaparte Basin is a key region for offshore exploration. offshore explorationhosting targets such as Jurassic and Triassic sandstones, Permian carbonates and Cretaceous submarine fans. According to David Hajovsky, Executive Vice President of TGS, this project demonstrates the company’s commitment to developing imaging solutions that facilitate better informed exploration decisions.
With a diverse global library of energy data and cutting-edge technologies, TGS has established itself as a strategic partner for companies looking to boost their operations in Australia’s competitive offshore market.
