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)
