Abstract

Improvements in time-lapse (4D) seismic processing methods provide opportunities to extract additional information from older time-lapse seismic data sets. This new information can help to optimize reservoir production. Four marine streamer time-lapse seismic data sets on the Njord field, offshore mid-Norway, were previously processed in 2007. Reprocessing in 2020 concentrated on better noise and multiple attenuation, improved imaging, and a focused step-by-step workflow to estimate and correct timing variations within and between surveys. The results dramatically improved on the 2007 processing. Gas injection could be tracked in greater detail and previously unidentified 4D signal was interpreted. The new data sets are expected to enhance reservoir understanding and improve future field performance.
