South Oman Salt Basin - High-Density Wide-Azimuth Land Seimsic Acquisition and Processing

The Ara play in the South Oman salt basin consists of a number of phases of carbonate deposition (stringers) encased in Ara salt. Conventional narrow azimuth surveys in the area have been unable to accurately delinate these stringers. New high-density wide-azimuth acquisition has made a step change in data samping which when combined with true WAZ processing algorithms has resulted in significantly improved imaging.
