Subsurface Imaging, part of CGG’s Geoscience division, has been awarded a contract by Equinor to process seismic data from the Johan Sverdrup Permanent Reservoir Monitoring (PRM) system in the North Sea.
Managed out of CGG’s Oslo office and located inside Equinor’s offices in Stavanger, a team of CGG processing experts, cooperating with Equinor, will deliver time-lapse 4D images to the Johan Sverdrup asset team within days of acquisition.

By analyzing these ‘snapshots’ of the reservoir during production, Equinor geoscientists aspires to be able to enhance production management and hydrocarbon recovery.
The contract is based on CGG’s long-term PRM processing experience for Equinor. It will run from the second quarter of 2019 for an initial period of 31 months, while it also has the option of two three-year extensions.
CGG has processed the majority of full-scale PRM projects performed in the industry until now, including Equinor’s Snorre and Grane fields since 2013 and 2014 respectively.
