Abstract
Summary How can we still further reduce costs for oil field services without degrading data quality? This is question of paramount interest to the entire oil exploration and production industry. It has been estimated that fully 25% of oil exploration costs are associated with seismic services. A technology which has created much discussion and excitement in the seismic industry for the last several years has been satellite transmission of seismic data from acquisition vessels to onshore processing facilities. This paper will explore the issues surrounding the viability of seismic data transmission via satellite (SDT) and will show that this method adds $2 to 4 million of value per 3-D survey to the oil company employing it.
