High quality 2D seismic and modern processing and interpretation techniques

Bullet four
Surprisingly little seismic has been acquired in the past and as a result deep drilling is almost nonexistent. In our Bieszczady licence, for example, in an area of 3,520 km2 there were only eight regional lines available and these vintage lines were poor quality. Application of techniques and equipment developed in other thrust belts will allow us to visualise the subsurface and target wells below the restriction (c. 1,000m) imposed by surface mapping.
 
Acquisition of seismic in the Carpathians is a challenge. The terrain is rugged and access is difficult for large vehicles. In addition the variation in surface conditions can make it difficult to acquire good data and significant effort is required to optimise the combination of source and receivers to geological features. Extensive processing is often required to identify and remove side effects.

Finally when a structure is mapped in time, conversion to depth can be problematic. The Carpathians are the surface expression of massive earth movements which have resulted in large blocks of rock of different properties being thrust over one another. Extensive processing is required to convert from time to depth and place the blocks in the correct position to each other. Here we will benefit from the industry’s extensive experience in other areas of the world and the techniques and processing software that are available to us.
