4D seismic reservoir monitoring is a relatively new technology that consists of repeating 3D
seismic surveys in order to make time-lapse images of the fluid and pressure fronts as they
move in a subsurface reservoir during hydrocarbon production. When successful, 4D
seismic can locate areas of bypassed oil for new drilling opportunities, map out water-
flooded areas to avoid the costly mistake of drilling new wells into swept zones, and identify
the geometry and nature of reservoir flow compartments that are key to optimizing …
