Reshot for Development We May Need Better Data Data Reprocessed or Reshot for Development And Production Data Used for Exploration SLIDE 15 Data quality that was adequate for exploration may not be adequate for development issues The seismic data may need to be reprocessed – using more sophisticated, expensive, time-consuming methods We may have to reshoot a new survey to get acceptable data quality Data on the right is ‘sharper’ and has better verticl resolution (red & black bands are thinner -> more stratigraphic detail) Courtesy of ExxonMobil L 1 - Focus of Industry
