3D BroadSeis Surveys for Shell

Dovetail, a new proprietary CGGVeritas acquisition and processing solution designed to reduce infill and achieve more regular sampling, was also deployed on this project.

Jean-Georges Malcor, CEO, CGGVeritas, said: "We are pleased to have partnered with Shell in Gabon to demonstrate the step change that our BroadSeis broadband marine solution can bring to the promising deep water plays offshore Gabon. We are confident that the enhanced low frequencies acquired by BroadSeis will meet the goals of Shell and achieve excellent penetration of the complex salt to provide clearer imaging of the pre-salt targets as well as simultaneously providing unrivalled bandwidth for the investigation of shallow amplitude anomalies."
