Abstract
Following the early successes with 4D streamer seismic around the turn of the century, the industry turned to ways to achieve better 4D sensitivity, using sensors that would be permanently installed on the seafloor. The vision driving this was two-fold: to achieve better repeatability and thereby better 4D detectability, and quicker decision taking on the basis of 4D data that would be acquired “on demand” at short notice. The recognized early pioneers of this field-wide permanent reservoir monitoring (PRM) technology were BP and Oyo Geospace (Barkved et al. (2004)).
