Abstract:
The Western Platform multiclient survey is in the Taranaki Basin, offshore New Zealand. Legacy imaging efforts have suffered due to being unable to overcome the presence of multiple geological challenges. A complex shallow overburden across the survey area, in addition to The Cape Egmont Fault Zone, provide a significant challenge to velocity model building. Shallow gas clouds are also prevalent throughout the survey, impacting imaging at the key zones of interest.
