Number of Projects Newark East Barnett Shale Production 350 BCF in 2004
Passive Seismic Data #2 Calculated hypocentral parameters : time, location, magnitude … #1 Raw Data/Seismogram
“SEG-P” Data Standard Format • Needed for easy exchange of data • Existing formats (eg SEGY/SEED) not optimal for industrial passive seismic data • Discussed with operators, service companies, and academics • Proposal is two phases: 1. Unique definition of SEGY headers for acquisition parameters of passive seismogram data (triggered and continuous) with 3C configuration • Ideally work with existing SEGY viewers 2. XML based meta-file containing hypocentral parameters
Sample Support “I forwarded your email to some of our managers and they strongly support your proposal. As you know, we have had lots of problems with data format issues in PDO which have hindered processing and research. You have our full support.” Fahad Al-Kindy XPQ/1 Integrated Reservoir Monitoring Reservoir Characterisation Team Petroleum Development Oman LLC
Route Forward • Solicit formal support for • Concept of data standard (email list and SEG Standards Committee) • Definition of SEGY headers • Definition of meta-file xml schema • Draft header definition and distribute via email (publish in TLE) • ??
