Enhancing E&P business efficiencies: upstream standards, bottom line results
By R. ClarkImplementation of common data and information standards has long been acknowledged by the E&P industry as an important but largely unrealized step to reduce costs and promote efficient business practice. Randy Clark, president and CEO of the not-for-profit organization Energistics, explains how the right strategy can bring about a more positive outcome supported by a wide range of industry interests.

Paris Basin offers opportunities for unconventional hydrocarbon resources
By P. ChungkhamApplying basic concepts and methods used on unconventional plays elsewhere, such as the Bakken Shale and Barnett Shale of the USA, we have identified three possible unconventional hydrocarbon plays in the Paris Basin, France: the Lias Shale oil play, the Permo-Carboniferous Shale gas play, and the Upper Carboniferous coalbed methane play. Analysis based on IHS proprietary data and public sources indicates the presence of a thick sequence of Palaeozoic sediments. We have constructed a preliminary stratigraphic succession of the Palaeozoic sediments and mapped their distribution, which could help in exploration of the Palaeozoic reservoirs as an extension of known conventional petroleum systems. Our analysis of the Paris Basin indicates that the basin still holds good hydrocarbon potential, both for conventional and unconventional plays, and merits a new phase of exploration, especially considering its excellent infrastructure and recent advances in technology.

Practical issues in reverse time migration: true amplitude gathers, noise removal and harmonic source encoding
More LessReverse time migration (RTM) is the method of choice for imaging complex subsurface structures. In this paper, we show that slightly modifying the conventional formulation, plus implementing an appropriate imaging condition, yields a true amplitude version of RTM that provides the correct amplitude-versus-angle relation. We also discuss different ways to suppress the migration artifacts and show how noise attenuation can be handled naturally in the common reflection angle domain. Finally, we introduce a harmonic source phase-encoding method to allow a relatively efficient delayed shot or plane wave reverse time migration. Taken together, these techniques yield a powerful true amplitude migration method that uses the complete two-way acoustic wave equation to image complex structures.
