These are just a few highlights from past projects:

Permanent Reservoir Monitoring: JUBARTE FIELD, CAMPOS BASIN, BRAZIL (PGS)

PetroBRAS's Jubarte permanent reservoir monitoring (PRM) system was first in many ways: the first PRM in Brazil, the first deep-water PRM in the world (1300m+), and the first installation of PGS's OptoSeis fiber optic integrated sensor + data acquisition system. The baseline survey was acquired in December 2012 and the first monitor survey was completed in early 2014 just over a year later. 56 days later the first 4D results were validated by production data and reservoir modeling by PetroBRAS's asset team and hailed as a major success for both the 4D technique for heavy oils reservoirs and the enabling fiber-optic technologies.
