3D VSP - seismic in HD!

Dealing with the pervasive salt blanket has become a way of life in deepwater Gulf of Mexico exploration. Since the advent of prestack depth migration (PSDM) enabled the identification of potential reservoirs beneath the salt, explorationists and engineers have been consumed with trying to get a better look below the salt. To be sure, surface techniques have improved considerably over the last decade with wide azimuth (WAZ) multiple azimuth (MAZ) and rich azimuth (RAZ) techniques providing increasingly better detail.
