DEADLINE: 15TH SEPTEMBER, 2022
ESSO EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION NIGERIA LIMITED
OPERATOR OF OML 133, 138, 139, 154 DEEP WATER BLOCKS
INVITATION TO TENDER FOR THE PROVISION OF SEISMIC DATA PROCESSING SERVICES
NIPEX NUMBER: 1000006042
(1) INTRODUCTION
Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria Limited (EEPNL), operators of NNPC OML 133, Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria (Offshore East) Limited (EEPN(OE)L), operator of OML 138, Esso Exploration and production Nigeria (Deep Water Ventures) Limited (EEPN(DV)L), operators of NNPC OML 139 and Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria (Upstream) Limited (EEPN(U)L), operator of OML 154, collectively referred to as “Esso” plans to engage competent and qualified contractors for the provision of 3D/4D Seismic Data Processing Services over parts of its fields within the NNPC/Esso PSC acreages.
(2) SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work includes, but Is not limited to the provision of 3D/4D, 1C-4C Seismic Data Processing in Time and/or Depth, using associated seismic processing software tools and highly qualified specialist personnel. Interested companies must be able to provide the following aspects of Seismic Data Processing:
(A) General Description
(a) Scope of the contract is best described as covering pre-processing through imaging efforts of various seismic data types (1C-4C) with a targeted goal of meeting the requisite objectives using the best methodologies to resolve data and imaging problems that are common in the PSC acreages (OML 133, 138, 139, & 154) of the Niger delta.
(b) Processing will be largely Anisotropic prestack depth migration (3D and/or 4D), It will require advance velocity model building capacity (Full wave inversions and tomography) as essential technologies for the projects. Success will require strong collaboration between experts from the contractor and Esso, as well as an iterative, integrated, creative and highly interpretive approach.
(c) Fault surfaces will need to be depth interpreted and become surfaces that separate velocity contrasts within the model. Anisotropic parameters will need to be constrained by available well data, as well as geological surfaces. Finding the proper combination of depth imaging algorithms and model building will require some trial and error testing
(B) Input Data and Area
(d) Input data for the project will be either newly acquired or heritage seismic data from the PSC acreage(s) and size will range from approximately 250 – 1500 km2 (full fold). Heritage data includes conventional streamer and broadband streamer ranging from 4000-600m cable length, Record lengths span 6.0 – 9.0 seconds data. Bin sizes range from 6.25m to 12.5m in inline spacing and from 6.25m to 12.5m in cross line spacing. Data will be processed preserving dynamic range as required.
(C) Generalized Breakdown of seismic Data Processing Services
The services can be broken down into these three general categories:
(e) Hi-end preprocessing from navigation merged field tapes. Noise mitigation, multiple suppression and signal enhancement are critical, particularly in fault shadow and shallow gas areas. Bin and regularize the data prior to migration.
(f) Iterative Anisotropic Velocity Model Building to accurately resolve lateral velocity contrasts across fault for the PSC acreages. Contractor must have a full suite of proven prestack acoustic and elastic depth migration algorithms (Kirchhoff, Beam and RTM etc.) as well as proven elastic and acoustic FWI and Tomography with ability to constrain input rays based on model surfaces. Contractor must have the ability to incorporate the geological surfaces and other well/geophysical data into the velocity /an isotropic model.
(g) Hi-end post-migration processing and noise reduction as required with a suite of angle stacks and specified derivative volumes.
