A large-scale 9C-3D
seismic survey conducted by BGP in Qaidam Basin of western China was
successfully concluded in August, which marks a new milestone in the history of
multicomponent seismic exploration.

Shear wave seismic plays a
key role to address the issue of poor imaging and low resolution for complex
reservoirs. However, due to the limitations in PS converted data, BGP has
focused extensive efforts in recent years on the R&D of shear wave source
vector seismic technology as a potential remedy to the shortcomings of PS
converted-wave seismic.

The 9C multi-wave 3D
seismic exploration ushered in a new era of multi-wave source vector seismic
exploration. BGP has made a substantial breakthrough in the past 30 years. The
resolution of the new s-wave seismic data acquired is almost twice as the
previous p-wave seismic that reveals great potential for the fine delineation
of low-amplitude structures in multi-dimensional ways and locking down
favorable gas trap as well as oil & gas well deployment.
