3D seismic data coverage of the Netherlands

Pre-view of Fugro’s new long cable 3D spec surveyThe NL-DEF-3D long cable spec survey area covers some 8000km2. It is amongst the largest speculative 3D survey in Europe. It fills one of the last large gaps in the Dutch offshore 3D-coverage. The survey is located in an under-explored part of the Dutch offshore where 3D long cable seismic is lacking. Interpretation of the new survey will provide new geological information and hydrocarbon concepts that might reduce exploration risks in the area. EBN is the first company that purchased a license for the entire survey. The survey is to be completed in 2012.

The survey is to be completed in 2012.The acquisition details are:• 3modernseismicvessels• 8to12streamer• 7500to8100meterstreamerlength• Streamerseparation:100m•Numberofsources:2• Sourceseparation:50m• Shotpointinterval:25m

The data are processed through a modern time processing flow including the latest updated 3DSRMEprograms,advancedde-noisemethods,Kirchhofftimemigrationandthemostrecentbinning,interpolationandfoldharmonizationmethodsdevelopedbyFugroSeismicImaging.Deliverables will include velocity volumes and angle stacks and gathers.

Overview 3D seismic surveys

shot between 1976 - 2009

3D seismic survey coverage onshore and offshore the Netherlands. Seismic data be-comes public after 5 years in the Netherlands. Public data (post-stack) can be purchased at TNO (www.nlog.nl). Various vendors offer large, regional merges of the public seismic data.
