CGG GeoConsulting Introduces Seep Explorer and GLOGOS
CGG GeoConsulting has acquired GLOGOS, the Global Onshore Gas-Oil Seeps dataset, from Gas Consult. GLOGOS will be incorporated into the new Seep Explorer, creating an onshore and offshore fully attributed GIS-based seeps product suite for regional-to-prospect source de-risking.
Hydrocarbon seep detection from satellite imaging maps the location and repeatability of naturally occurring oil seepage offshore and is a recognised and valuable tool for new ventures and exploration teams and has been adopted by major international oil companies.
The main component of Seep Explorer is NPA Satellite Mapping’s GOSD, the Global Offshore Seeps Database in GeoConsulting’s portfolio of products. Additional layers of data have been developed for GOSD to provide validation and further information on the origin of the seeps. These include a Fluid Features Database (FFD) of seabed fluid escape features and onshore seeps from Robertson’s FRogi dataset which characterises the hydrocarbons. With more than 20 years of interpretation on over 23,000 satellite scenes covering all offshore basins in the current database, GOSD is recognised as the premier product in the industry.
