Abstract


Conventionally acquired seismic data is handicapped by limitations in bandwidth. The last decade or so has seen the industry more focused on addressing the issue with improved hardware and innovative acquisition designs and processing technologies. Ghost free marine acquisition and processing solutions are now the norm with the usable bandwidth reaching to five octaves. One such Acquisition and Processing project was undertaken by Reliance Industries in its lease area in Deep Waters of India through M/s CGG Asia Pacific employing their proprietary Broadseis technology. Here the results achieved post-survey visa-vis pre-survey expectations are analyzed and validated with vintage datasets.
