Violet Grove 2D and 3D data processing at CREWES

Han-xing Lu, Kevin W. Hall, Donald C. Lawton

Several north-south and east-west 3C-2D seismic lines were acquired at the Penn West CO₂ pilot project in west-central Alberta in March 2005. The lines were positioned around a monitoring well in the portion of the Pembina Field operated by Penn West Petroleum Ltd. Data were also recorded on a series of permanent 3C geophones in an observation well. These data represent a baseline survey of the reservoir prior to commencement of a CO₂ injection project. CREWES has reprocessed the data in preparation for time-lapse analysis following the first monitor survey, which is scheduled for January 2006.
