Meeting the challenging demands
of the West Africa subsea field
development domain.
As new reserves are being
discovered in deeper waters, there
are set to be more challenging
environments facing the operators
in the West Africa sub-region. This
will see a rise in scale and
complexity of SURF Projects.

4D Time Lapse Seismic
Time lapse seismic surveys have rapidly
increased in number, data usage, and
areas of application. This has left the oil
and gas industry with challenges in
unlocking the full value of 4D seismic
data. The solution to maximise full
value utilisation of 4D seismic data sits
in its wide application for reservoir
modeling, infill target locations, and
well and reservoir management. The
key to unlock maximum value of time
lapse seismic is the integration across
subsurface disciplines.
This session will focus on key
technology developments and how it
can aid operators and NOC’s alike to
develop assets in West Africa’s
Transformation margin.
