Abstract

Summary

The Wisting discovery is a shallow oil field in the Norwegian Barents Sea, located approximately 300km north of Hammerfest. Water injection is an important part of the current drainage strategy on Wisting, as reservoir pressure maintenance and voidage replacement will increase the production during the life of the field. Monitoring of the reservoir and the overburden during injection and production is considered an important part of the reservoir management strategy for Wisting.

As part of a recent well operation, a field test of microseismic monitoring was performed. Two Ocean Bottom Cables (OBC) placed on the seafloor were monitoring the entire well operation. A down-hole seismic source was run, and the resulting wavefield was acquired at the seabed. This field test provides Wisting with crucial information to further mature the optimal geophysical monitoring solutions for the field development project.
