VectorSeis Subsea Network
The dream of every asset manager is to be able to cost-effectively track fluid movements within a reservoir on a real-time basis. ION’s VectorSeis Subsea Network is an emerging technology that promises to make the dream of permanent reservoir monitoring a reality in the offshore environment.
At the core of ION’s permanent reservoir monitoring platform is VectorSeis, the company’s award-winning digital, full-wave sensor. VectorSeis captures broadband seismic data with the highest vector fidelity available in the marketplace. The results are high resolution images of the reservoir, even for deep targets.
After investing in permanent reservoir monitoring, an asset manager will be able to obtain frequent, accurate, low-cost 4D images of fluid movement and distribution within the reservoir. This will enable:
- More efficient stewardship of the asset
- Improved cash flow
- Increased total recovery
- Reduced risk
ION has been a forerunner in permanent reservoir monitoring. The company was involved in designing the technology used in the early experiments at Teal South in 1996 and, through its Concept Systems subsidiary, provided data integration and QC systems for the Valhall Life of Field Seismic project. More recently, ION has forged a partnership with subsea specialist Vetco to expand the range of applicable acquisition technologies and deployment techniques available to our oil & gas company customers.
Whether you are in the early stages of assessing feasibility or ready to deploy your permanent reservoir monitoring system, ION is the right partner to help you apply VectorSeis Subsea Network to maximize the value of your asset.
