The oil and gas industry requires high-quality seismic data to accurately assess exploration prospects for commercial viability and to effectively monitor producing reservoirs.
At International Petroleum Week 2010 last week, HP and Shell announced a collaboration to develop a wireless sensing system to acquire high-resolution seismic data on land. “We think this will represent a leap forward in seismic data quality that will provide Shell with a competitive advantage in exploring difficult oil and gas reservoirs, such as sub-salt plays in the Middle East or unconventional gas in North America,” said Gerald Schotman, Executive Vice President for Research and Development and Shell.
We spoke about this project and collaboration with Rich Duncombe, an HP Strategist at the company’s Technology Development Organization.
