Abstract
Summary For Oil & Gas exploration projects close to shore or in shallow waters, bathymetry is needed for: De-risking seismic survey operations, Assessing how to perform seismic acquisition : towed streamers or Ocean Bottom Surveys (OBS), Defining survey shape and suitable line directions. However, some of these potential exploration areas might have only sparse bathymetry data either no bathymetry at all and planning a standard bathymetry survey or airborne bathymetric LiDAR survey is not always possible at the seismic survey feasibility stage. To mitigate this, Total E&P has started using Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) technics as an alternate solution for providing, within the time frame and when feasible, derived depth data as an intermediate product/deliverable for a first assessment of survey areas.
