Jubarte PRM: First Deep-Water Optical 4D4C WAZ and Microseismic Systems

In December 2012, Petrobras began the seismic survey of its first deep-water permanent reservoir monitoring (PRM) at Jubarte oilfield, in the Campos Basin. The Jubarte PRM seismic system equipment used was purchased from PGS/Optoseis™. The system comprises a fully 4C fiber-optic sensor array installed on the seabed and an optoelectronics controlling and recording unit installed on the topside of the floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) P-57. Upon completion of installation of the system in deep-water, Petrobras with PGS shall acquire active seismic data at least once a year using a seismic source vessel and passive or microseismic data between them.
