North West Shelf Regional Velocity Cube
Maximising Seismic Data Value in the North West Shelf
The North West Shelf Regional Velocity Cube, covering a staggering 490,000 square kilometers, represents a landmark achievement in data precision, revealing thrilling new potential for exploration within the Carnarvon and Canning Basins of Australia’s North West Shelf. Advanced filtering, balancing, and levelling within individual surveys as well as between volumes have further refined the data’s quality, unveiling the intricacies of regional geology like never before.
The meticulous fine-tuning of the velocity data from 2D and 3D seismic surveys resulted in unmatched accuracy and consistency. The final model, which also honours time-depth datasets from appropriate wells, brings authenticity at every scale, aided by a suite of interpreted surfaces outlining the regional trend. This unparalleled resource offers companies the opportunity to augment the value potential of their pre-existing seismic databases. Its incredible depth of insight makes it an essential tool in shaping exploration and development strategies in one of Australia’s most fertile offshore regions, the North West Shelf.
