Abstract:
The exploration of biogenic gas in the Adriatic Sea is highly developed and the investigation of the residual potential and located complex areas, requires an improvement in the quality of available data. This paper illustrates a 2-year seismic reprocessing program intended to assess the residual gas potential in this still productive hydrocarbon area by leveraging on integrated geological and geophysical workflows, modern processing techniques and High Parallel Computing capabilities. Legacy or vintage data sets can usually be re-examined using new processing technologies and the re-processing of available data is the only solution to re-evaluate the residual potential of developed-explored areas.
