View AllSolving Mad Dog subsalt imaging in two decades: From WATS to OBN to elastic FWI
Aug 21, 2023The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is one of the most prolific oil and gas producing provinces in the world. The Mad Dog Field, like many large deepwater fields in the GoM, is subsalt. The geometric complexity of the overlying salt causes extremely variable image quality of the strata beneath the salt. Improving the seismic image has been critical for field development, and a tremendous amount of effort has been expended over the years to solve this problem. Over the past two decades, data acquisition has evolved from narrow-azimuth towed streamer to wide-azimuth streamer, and finally to ocean-bottom nodes. Processing methods such as using different anisotropic velocity models of increasing complexity, exhaustive iterations of salt modeling, acoustic full-waveform inversion, and most recently elastic full-waveform inversion have been applied. Dozens of wells have been drilled at Mad Dog guided by the resulting seismic images, and many acquisition and processing learnings have been acquired and implemented over this period to optimize the imaging. This paper explores the techniques that have caused major uplift to subsalt imaging and some techniques that were of only minor impact, while giving a glimpse into the imaging history of one of the GoM’s giant fields.

Digital Fraud Warning
CGG regularly receives enquirers from the public regarding clarification on attempts at digital (online, mobile, etc.) fraud where the CGG name and/or identity has been used deceptively and/or illegally. Digital Fraud can take many forms including, but not limited to, job opportunities, recruitment, money grants, prizes, and business opportunities. Often, scammers pretend to be someone you trust, such as an HR executive, or a company with which you do business. To generate awareness and help with the avoidance of being misled by on line fraud, CGG advises that in communications with the general public, it never does any of the following:
- Sends emails from any source other than from an email address with the domain of cgg.com,
- Requests money for any of its processes, including for recruitment,
- Requests personal information such as passport and bank account details from someone that you cannot verify as CGG employee.
Don't be misled by fraudulent communications and watch for these above warning signs. Please do not respond to unsolicited business opportunities and/or job offers, or share sensitive information with any source that you cannot verify as an official CGG address, email or telephone number. While we sympathize with anyone that has become a victim of fraud, CGG, and its affiliates cannot accept any responsibility.
