The total volume of seismic data collected so far at the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) field has reached 750 terabytes and is now approaching one petabyte, bp's Vice President for Subsurface in the Azerbaijan, Georgia and Türkiye region, Dan Sparks said, APA-Economics reports.
"As ACG matures, as we produce most of the oil from the initial reservoir and move into other, more complex reservoirs, we have to return to the geological data and analyze it on a more detailed scale. This requires substantial investment in data acquisition.
This work is being carried out jointly with SOCAR, and the results are truly remarkable. The results we have achieved have far exceeded our expectations," he said.
The Vice President emphasized that approximately 250 terabytes of data are acquired annually to create images of the reservoir.
"To give a clearer idea of the scale of this seismic investment, let me point out one thing: we acquire approximately 250 terabytes of data every year to create images of the reservoir. So far, the total volume of this data has reached 750 terabytes, and we are now approaching one petabyte."
