3D Seismic Exploration & Wave Field Survey
Tomskneft's exploration division has maintained an exceptional drilling discovery rate by coupling high-density 3D seismic surveys with advanced digital wave field inversion. Operating alongside international partners, exploratory drilling has delineated multiple commercial crude oil and gas condensate reservoirs.
Our geological teams leverage proprietary algorithms to compensate for near-surface column inhomogeneities, allowing geoscientists to evaluate structural closures with unprecedented spatial resolution.
Technical Highlights & Milestones:
- Extensive 3D seismic acquisition over licensed blocks
- Commercial flow confirmed from fourth deep exploration well
- Joint venture partnership with INPEX Corporation
- Drastic reduction in structural forecast drilling error
Complex geological faulting and thick overburden layers caused severe seismic energy attenuation and imaging distortions.
Applied 3D pre-stack depth migration and finite-difference acoustic wave modeling to design optimal shot and receiver geometries, successfully hitting pay zones on target.
