IVZ media thread, page-651

A very interesting topic, and one that, I think is relevant to consider. New seismic data will of course help to decide the best positioning for drills to maximize success. Beyond that, and I am not an expert on this, but this is exactly what I am thinking/hoping for - that modern seismics and software/computational data analysis may allow for direct evidence of hydrocarbons within a geological trap and (if so), then, (if true) this could de-risk the entire drilling campaign and (perhaps) mitigate the desire for a farm-in partner, or alternatively make the terms for any agreement with a farm-in partner more favourable for IVZ.

Some interesting background reading (not sure how relevant each of these are to IVZ): Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHIs) and/or Amplitude Variation with Offset (AVOs):

Not sure which software IVZ are using to analyze the seismic data from Polaris Seismic, but here is a page link to one of the leading software providers, CGG of France:
