Valuable lessons from acquiring 3D Seismic for Coal Seam Gas

Abstract

A land 3D seismic survey was carried out in the Surat and Bowen Basins with the specific objective of imaging Coal Seam Gas reservoirs. Use of nodal acquisition technology allowed the survey to be designed around numerous obstacles while collecting a full range of azimuths and offsets. These were maintained through processing to provide well imaged structures and pre-stack data for quantitative interpretation.
