Supporting Renewables by Making HD Seismic Simple and Affordable

Geothermal and CCUS are technologies used for many decades to support and complement the energy industry and are considered today essential technologies to realistically achieve a net zero carbon future. A good knowledge of the subsurface is an important requirement for both of these industries to make sure the subsurface conditions are right and also to monitor the field through its life. However, having access to the latest seismic acquisition and processing technologies at an affordable price is a real challenge for these green industries which don’t have the budget nor the resources to run a complex seismic program and derive all the attributes needed for them. In this paper we will discuss how the latest seismic technologies can make seismic more affordable and accessible to these industries using the example of a CCUS UHD seismic acquisition run in 2021.
