Abstract

Introduction

Origin Energy has carried out a series of trial 2D seismic surveys in the Surat Basin utilising the relatively lightweight ‘Envirovibe’ Vibroseis energy source.

The purpose of the program was to determine whether environmental and community benefits can be realized through the use of smaller vibrators, whilst still fully achieving the survey’s technical objectives. These considerations are particularly relevant for the vast coal seam gas (CSG) fairway in eastern Australia, over which horticulture, grazing and cultural activities are relatively intense.
