Seismic technology is the main, some would say the only, means of interrogating the sub-surface in sufficient detail to allow insightful geological prediction and the precise location of wells.
The technology progresses via much incrementalism, interspersed with a few real breakthroughs. Now we are looking for more, especially innovative, ideas - most likely from imaginative, entrepreneurial smaller companies - that offer transformational reductions in risk, cost or cycle-time.
Offshore, conventional, multi-azimuth and wide-angle towed streamer 3D yields depth images of compelling quality whatever complexities of overburden and target geology we are confronted with.
Onshore it is a different story, with comparable quality awaiting the development of super lightweight, low power consumption, high channel, wireless land seismic surveys. Our presenters from Shell and Wireless Seismic have compelling stories to tell - 2011 may indeed be the start of a new era, not simply a new decade!
