Imaging & Technology Update

The Sill complex correlates with high seismic velocity, whereas the HTVC is associated with lower seismic velocities in the dome structure. Low velocity might be an indication of gas and thus a good guide for mapping fluid migration not clearly visible on the seismic profile. The data is from the Vøring basin offshore Norway.
