CGGVeritas has been a leader in the use of multicomponent seismic for more than 30 years. During this time, multicomponent has evolved from its origins in small-scale land surveys to the latest high-density, wide-azimuth 3 °C onshore and 4 °C ocean bottom surveys.

As the industry turns towards higher risk conventional reservoirs and unconventional sources of hydrocarbons, such as heavy oil deposits, multicomponent seismic has truly come of age. It provides valuable insights for reservoirs where conventional seismic fails to deliver.

Lower Your Risk
The realities of modern hydrocarbon exploration and production are that the commercial success of a field can depend on very fine margins. Recovery-rate improvement of a few percentage points can have a crucial impact on a reservoir’s economic viability and its production longevity.

Multicomponent is a significant tool in allowing a fuller understanding of your reservoir and enabling the right development decisions to be made.
