• Feasibility of using the P-Cable high-resolution 3D seismic system in detecting and monitoring CO2 leakage 

      Waage, Malin; Singhroha, Sunny; Bünz, Stefan; Planke, Sverre; Waghorn, Kate Alyse; Bellwald, Benjamin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-23)
      The P-Cable technology is an acquisition principle for high-resolution and ultra-high-resolution 3D seismic data. Many 3D seismic datasets have been acquired over the last decade, but the application in time-lapse studies for monitoring of CO2 storage is a new and intriguing topic. High-resolution 3D (HR3D) seismic has the potential to detect and monitor CO2 leakage at carbon capture and storage ...
    • High-resolution 3D seismic study of pockmarks and shallow fluid flow systems at the Snøhvit hydrocarbon field in the SW Barents Sea 

      Tasianas, Alexandros; Bünz, Stefan; Bellwald, Benjamin; Hammer, Øyvind; Planke, Sverre; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Krassakis, Pavlos (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-21)
      The Barents Sea is an epicontinental shelf sea with a fragmented structure consisting of long fault complexes, basins and basement highs. Fluid leakage from deep-seated hydrocarbon accumulations is a widespread phenomenon and mostly related to its denudation history during the glacial/interglacial cycles. In this study, we aimed to better understand shallow fluid flow processes that have led to the ...
    • High-resolution landform assemblage along a buried glacio-erosive surface in the SW Barents Sea revealed by P-Cable 3D seismic data 

      Bellwald, Benjamin; Planke, Sverre; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Piasecka, Emilia Daria; Andreassen, Karin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-01)
      The Quaternary sedimentary record in the Arctic captures a diverse and evolving range of landscapes reflecting cli-mate changes. Here we study the geological landform assemblage of the Upper Regional Unconformity (URU) in theSW Barents Sea. The aims are (i) to characterize buried geological landforms on a meter-scale resolution, (ii) to un-derstand their link with underlying structures, and (iii) ...
    • Ice-stream dynamics of the SW Barents Sea revealed by high-resolution 3D seismic imaging of glacial deposits in the Hoop area 

      Bellwald, Benjamin; Planke, Sverre; Piasecka, Emilia Daria; Matar, M.A.; Andreassen, Karin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-07)
      Recent developments in seismic acquisition systems and seismic data visualization have contributed to improve the imaging of seismic geomorphologies over a broad range of topics. This study focuses on a new high-resolution P-Cable 3D seismic cube located in the Hoop area in the SW Barents Sea. The scientific motivations of the study are (1) to document glacial landforms on a meter-scale, (2) to study ...
    • Meter-Scale 3D Seismic Data for High-Resolution Site Characterization 

      Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Polteau, Stephane; Zastrozhnov, Dmitry; Planke, Sverre; Waage, Malin; Bünz, Stefan; Bellwald, Benjamin; Vanneste, Maarten; Sauvin, Guillaume; Myklebust, R. (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2019-06-03)
      High-resolution 3D site characterization can deliver reliable quantitative property volumes of the subsurface when based on seismic data able to image meter-sized objects. Following the theoretical analysis of seismic wave propagation in the shallow sub-surface, we present case studies based on re-processing of 3D P-Cable seismic data. The case study of data re-processing from the Vestnesa Ridge ...
    • Monitoring Of CO2 Leakage Using High-Resolution 3D Seismic Data – Examples From Snøhvit, Vestnesa Ridge And The Western Barents Sea 

      Bellwald, Benjamin; Waage, Malin; Planke, S; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Polteau, S; Tasianas, Alexandros; Bünz, Stefan; Plaza-Faverola, Andreia; Berndt, Christian; Stokke, H.H.; Millett, John; Myklebust, R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-21)
      Injection of CO2 in subsurface reservoirs may cause overburden deformation and CO2 leakage. The aim of this study is to apply technologies for detection and monitoring of CO2 leakage and deformation above the injection reservoirs. The examples of this study include data from the Vestnesa Ridge natural seep site, the Snøhvit gas field and CO2 storage site region, and the Gemini North gas reservoir. ...
    • Quaternary and Neogene Reservoirs of the Norwegian Continental Shelf and the Faroe-Shetland Basin 

      Bellwald, Benjamin; Planke, Sverre; Vadakkepuliyambatta, Sunil; Buenz, Stefan; Batchelor, Christine L.; Manton, Ben; Zastrozhnov, Dmitry; Walker, Faye; Myklebust, Reidun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-01)
      Glaciogenic reservoirs host important hydrocarbon resources across the globe. Examples such as the Peon and Aviat discoveries in the North Sea show that Quaternary and Neogene reservoirs can be prospective in the region. In this study, we interpret 2D and 3D reflection seismic data combined with borehole information to document unconventional play models from the shallow subsurface of the Norwegian ...
    • Structural and fluid-migration control on hill-hole pair formation: Evidence from high-resolution 3D seismic data from the SW Barents Sea 

      Bellwald, Benjamin; Stokke, Henrik Henriksen; Winsborrow, Monica; Planke, Sverre; Sættem, Joar; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Hafeez, Amer; Kurjanski, Bartosz; Myklebust, Reidun Alice; Polteau, Stephane (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-11)
      Hill-hole pairs are subglacial landforms consisting of thrust-block hills and associated source depressions. Formed by evacuation of material where ice sheets have been locally frozen to the substrate, they give insights into paleo-ice-sheet dynamics. The aim of this study was to document the relationships between ancient hill-hole pairs identified on a buried glacial unconformity with the structure ...
