Growth Factors in the Seismic Services Industry:

• Adoption of Advanced Seismic Technologies

As seismic technologies increase in sophistication, energy and infrastructure companies will gain tools to better understand underground formations. At the nexus of 4D and AI (artificial intelligence) driven interpretation engines and automated machine learning workflows, geologic features will be more readily defined and evaluated, and at much higher levels of detail. These analytics platforms are being used for more and more drilling projects, with less time taken for data collection and processing and more time spent on decision-making. Deep learning AI models learn to detect subtle anomalies, including stratigraphic variations. They learn to detect variations in the reservoir, increasing quality of results in exploration and reducing dry holes. These technologies can help reduce risks by detecting subsurface instability before it manifests. The industry is working in increasingly complex environments, such as deepwater basins, geothermal fields, and carbon storage facilities, and needs such data. High-resolution seismic becomes a key driver for operational planning. High-resolution seismic becomes a key factor in risk mitigation. High-resolution seismic becomes a key enabler to asset optimization.

• Growing Demand for Renewable Energy Sources

In addition to oil and gas uses, seismic survey services are being extended to other parts of renewable energy infrastructures such as geothermal power plants, geological formations for carbon capture and storage (CCS), or the seabed of an offshore wind turbine farm. For these applications seismic techniques are used to select drill sites, estimate heat flow, and investigate geo-stability patterns before capital outlays are made. Seabed investigation may also be carried out for the footings of offshore wind farms, to lower the risk of construction problems and underperformance. Seismic surveys are used to verify and monitor CO2 containment in most CCS projects. Seismic suppliers are increasingly working with renewable energy clients as the investment in green technology and carbon reduction from government starts to become more prominent and the seismic industry continues to be a big part of the future energy transition.

• Focus on Environmental Sustainability and Risk Management

Environmental and accident prevention considerations may require new real-time monitoring to assess microseismicity and other ground motion, and continuous monitoring of reactivation risk, to allow drilling, pipeline operation and other infrastructure in and around fault zones, which will involve increased energy costs. New seismic sensors that incorporate optical fiber technology may in some cases avoid failure and leakage by enabling early action to be taken. Non-intrusive survey methods such as marine vibroseis, nodal sensing, remote continuous monitoring, and improved land access permitting, marine ecosystem protection, and environmental reporting, enable low-impact seismic surveys that minimize environmental and social impacts, and improve the quality of survey data. Seismic services are evolving into environmental risk management tools that help reduce risks to people, assets and the environment.

Key Trends in the Seismic Services Market

• AI-Enhanced Geological Modeling and Subsurface Intelligence

AI for seismic interpretation uses machine learning techniques to analyze large quantities of seismic data in order to automatically detect and interpret faults and fractures, and to generate 3D geological models. AI can produce a final interpretation in hours rather than months, and can provide more accurate reservoir mapping that enables better oil and gas drilling decisions. These applications can work with visualization tools, subsurface models and real-time collaboration tools to support exploration in more challenging environments, deep water plays and in renewable energy, including geothermal energy and CCS. AI models in these areas learn to improve based on larger data sets, leading into improved forecasting and more predictable performance. This will make the whole exploration process more data driven.

• Cloud-Driven Seismic Data Management and Collaboration

Cloud seismic platforms have enabled faster processing of seismic data, plus the ability to store and share that data cheaply in the cloud on a global scale. Exploration teams are now able to access seismic data and related tools and dashboards through a cloud service. Cloud infrastructure has enabled digital transformation in seismic operations by providing improved economics and productivity for real-time simulation, multi-user workflows and big data analytics solutions where computational and storage capabilities would otherwise be prohibitive. Cloud-based solutions for cybersecurity, disaster recovery and long term data retention and archiving have also become de facto mandatory for multi-terabyte seismic data volumes. Modern exploration is becoming more data-driven, and that means integrated cloud environments are fundamental to having agile operations and teams across regions.

• Autonomous and Remote Seismic Acquisition Technologies

Autonomous seismic acquisition is a new field of technology in which unmanned vehicles, including drones, robotic acquisition platforms and artificial intelligence-based monitoring systems, allow an operator to perform seismic operations in areas that are unsafe, impractical, or unfeasible to access. Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) have also been used to perform offshore seismic surveys. On the ground, the cameras and sensors attached to the drone, and external nodal systems, allow faster deployment and more precise data capture. Real-time transmission and processing of the data considerably reduces project completion time, and improves decision-making. The systems are less risk sensitive, lower cost, provide high resolution data sets and, with increasing requirements to operate with higher system efficiencies and reduced carbon footprints, autonomous seismic systems are rapidly becoming a data acquisition technology.
