The ability to reduce risk and uncertainty across the full life cycle of an asset is directly correlated to creating an accurate subsurface image that enhances our understanding of the geology. This presentation focuses on this objective in areas of complex overburden in deepwater. Marine 3D seismic surveys have been acquired in essentially the same way for the past decade. This configuration of towed streamer acquisition, where the boat acquires data in one azimuth has been very effective in imaging areas in fairly benign geologic settings. As the industry has moved into more complicated geologic settings these surveys no longer meet the imaging objectives for risk reduction in exploration through production. In shallow water, we have seen increasing use of ocean bottom cables to meet this challenge. For deepwater, new breakthroughs in technology were required. Two examples will be highlighted; imaging below large salt bodies in the deep water Gulf of Mexico and imaging below the interbedded anhydrites of the Nile Delta.

Impact of Seismic Loop-Scale Depositional Models on ReservoirArchitecture
in a Heavy Oil Accumulation, Santos Basin, Brazil.
Several deepwater turbidite discoveries of Eocene age have been made in the northern Santos mobile salt basin, offshore Brazil. The Shell-operated BS-4 NE discovery (2001) shows significantly better reservoir development than in equivalent sections penetrated nearby. Both the discovery and appraisal wells encountered in excess of 100m of predominantly clean sand.
