Subsurface Imaging, part of CGG’s Geoscience division, has been awarded a large-scale seismic imaging project in the offshore Orphan Basin in Eastern Canada by BHP, CGG announced on Thursday.
The company said it will employ its FWI and least-squares migration algorithms over the entire survey area of more than 10,000 square kilometers.
Through advanced technologies such as imaging technology, supercomputing capacity and digitalization, and close collaboration with the client’s interpretation and imaging geophysicists, CGG said it aims to provide a step-change in subsurface imaging in a timely manner to support exploration and production investment decisions.
Tony Huang, VP, US Subsurface Imaging, CGG, said, “Major oil companies are increasingly seeking higher-quality seismic images to mitigate risks and improve success in both mature and frontier deepwater basins. Our consistent investments in people and imaging technology innovation through the seismic sector downturn have enabled CGG to continue to provide an unmatched level of services and image quality. This important award will further solidify our position as the leader in high-end seismic imaging.”
