Here are some of the WIT Sim projects we've done for clients
over the years:
- Oklahoma Thrust Belt -
The client had a "hopeless" seismic survey and a 3D geologic model. Our WIT
Sim study confirmed what they feared--they simply weren't recording reflected
energy over much of the survey area.
- Deepwater Gulf of Mexico - The client wanted to know
whether wide azimuth (WAZ) data would be necessary to adequately illuminate
sub-salt seciments. The simulation study changed their minds, potentially
saving many millions of dollars.
- Onshore Gulf Coast salt - On several locations, clients
have wondered how much data aperture would be necessary to illuminate
a salt body. We've performed simple 2D simulations ahead of a PSDM project
that gave the client confidence that we had the right data.
- Zagros Mountains Overthrust - Our client was shooting a 3D
over extremely rugged geology and needed to know if certain very expensive
shot locations could be omitted. We simulated 13,000 shot records, using a 3D
velocity model built by a structural geologist, and ran many migrations.
- Deepwater South America - Our client was exploring a fractured
subsalt carbonate reservoir and needed to know what kind of WAZ template
would be required to measure azimuthal anisotropy in the reservoir. We
simulated multiple WAZ geometries with our HTI wave equation solver and made
fracture maps using WIT Angle technology.
