Reducing uncertainty in the Wilcox trend, deep-water Gulf of Mexico – a Lower Tertiary pressure study - SEG 2009 Hart Daily
Ikon Science Americas and GeoPressure Technology (an Ikon Science company) announce the launch of a comprehensive multi-client pressure study of the Lower Tertiary Wilcox trend, in collaboration with IHS. Ikon Science and GeoPressure Technology specialise in pressure analysis and prediction, particularly in challenging areas, whilst IHS has a high quality and expanded Gulf of Mexico formation pressure and wireline suite database. In the past, Ikon Science/GeoPressure Technology and IHS have coll...

First Break vol 27 October 2009 "Advancing integration: shared earth model to live earth model"
What do we mean by integrated or shared earth models? Let us start answering this question by going back 15 years, to the start of 1994. At that time, integration was a great buzz-word in exploration and production. There were integrated multi-disciplinary teams in the larger and more progressive oil companies and people were looking into how software technology might be harnessed to push forward this integration. Prior to this time, for a decade or more, numerical modelling had been growing in ...

Digital Energy Journal: Double North Sea oil with Rock Physics?
Exploration and Drilling Double North Sea oil with rock physics? Martyn Millwood Hargrave, managing director of London-based company Ikon Science, believes that rock physics based technologies could help find and access a further 4 billion barrels of oil in the North Sea, on top of the 4 billion barrels thought to be left to be recovered through normal means. "In the North Sea there are about 4 billion barrels left to be found with conventional E&P methods but up to 8 billion barrels using rock...

Statistical Uncertainty of seismic net pay estimations
Statistical uncertainty of seismic net pay estimations PATRICK CONNOLLY, BP, Sunbury-On-Thames, U.K. MICHEL KEMPER, Ikon Science, London, U.K. he companion article in this issue, "A simple, robust algorithm for seismic net pay estimation" (hereafter referred to as Net Pay 07) outlines a method to estimate net pay from band-limited impedance seismic data. The objective of this second article is to describe a procedure to estimate the uncertainty of these net pay predictions. Errors in net pay est...

The Shared Earth Model Re-Visited A new generation of integrated models will actively add value to subsurface studies and reservoir management.
A new generation of integrated models will actively add value to subsurface studies and reservoir management. P. A.Gutteridge & D. E Gawith THE SHARED EARTH MODEL RE-VISITED Introduction There is an earth model implicit in the work of every subsurface discipline. Seismic interpretation is guided by a constantly-reviewed mental model. A flow simulation model is a numerical abstraction guided by the engineer's feeling for the dynamic effects of geological features and rock properties. Sedimentol...

'Volcano gets choke chains to slow mud' - Nature Magazine
NEWS NATURE|Vol 445|1 February 2007 Volcano gets choke chains to slow mud Indonesian geophysicists hope to stem the flow of a destructive mud volcano on East Java by dropping chains of concrete balls into its mouth. The mud eruption began on 29 May last year in the middle of a rice paddy in the village of Porong, 30 kilometres south of Surabaya, the provincial capital. Since then, the volcano has spewed out up to 126,000 cubic metres of mud a day, flooding an area of more than 4 square kilomet...

Rock physics analysis for time-lapse seismic at Schiehallion Field, North Sea
ABSTRACT Rock physics analysis plays a vital role in time-lapse seismic interpretation because it provides the link between changes in rock and fluid properties and the resulting seismic data response. In this case study of the Schiehallion Field, we discuss a number of issues that commonly arise in rock physics analyses for time-lapse studies.
