4‐D seismic reservoir simulation in a South Timbalier 295 turbidite reservoir, Gulf of Mexico

Quantification of modelled 4D response and viability of repeated seismic reservoir monitoring in J-Area Field, Central North Sea

“…More recently, significant technological advancement has been made in 4D seismic surveying due to its importance to the oil and gas industry (Anderson et al 1998;Fanchi et al 1999;Landrø 2007;Eriksrud 2014). Nowadays, the use of 4D seismic survey has been divided into three categories; monitoring of underground storage of carbon dioxide in saline aquifers, monitoring of geohazards such as volcano and rock slides and monitoring of producing hydrocarbon fields called 4D reservoir monitoring (Bjorlykke 2015).…”

“…The oil and gas industry has recognized that 4D reservoir monitoring can be used to improve the quality of reservoir characterization, locate bypassed reserves and identify the movement of fluid interfaces (Fanchi et al 1999;Landrø 2007). The benefits of improving reservoir characterization and increased recovery efficiency outweighs the cost implication of 4D reservoir monitoring on production (Anderson et al 1998;Fanchi et al 1999;Landrø et al 2003;Landrø 2007) hence the validity of 4D reservoir monitoring as fundamental tool for reservoir development and production (Landrø 2007).…”
