Abstract:The feasibility of a time-lapse seismic response to production was identified early on in the life of the Alba field, UK North Sea. The reservoir rocks and fluid properties (oil and water), were conducive to a change in seismic properties in response to water encroachment. The acquisition of appropriate seismic data took longer to obtain, due in part to the vintage of the 3D baseline survey (acquired in 1989) and the focus on lithology identification in a subsequent repeat survey (acquired in 1998), shot using… Show more
