1 GEO21 Seismic Repeatability - Is There a Limit? E. Schissele (CGGVeritas), E. Forgues (CGGVeritas), J. J.Postel* (CGGVeritas), J. Meunier (CGGVeritas), O. de Pellegars (Total) & C. Hubans (Total) SUMMARY The results of a 13-day seismic monitoring experiment are presented. It consists in 2 permanent piezoelectric sources, one cemented in depth and the other attached to a surface concrete pad and 28 sensors, 14 at the surface and 14 cemented below the weathering zone. To enhance the signal-to-noise ratio, continuous averaging of the individual SP records is performed providing an average daily SP. 4D attributes are measured on these daily averages. The best repeatability is obtained when both sources and sensors are buried with time and amplitude variations of 6 μs and.5% respectively. This extremely high precision level is far above what can be expected from the most accurate surface acquisition methods currently available. Introduction CGGVeritas has developed, in collaboration with Gaz de France and Institut Français du Petrole, a high-resolution reservoir monitoring solution using permanent sources and receivers (Meunier et al. 21). This solution has progressively evolved from surface to buried sources and receivers. A major step in this evolution was the introduction of a buried piezoelectric dipole source (Bianchi et al., 24). The very low energy produced results in remarkable coupling stability. The simplicity of the source design results in very high reliability. These features enable the system to provide unparalleled sensitivity and capture subtle and rapid reservoir variations which conventional 4D techniques fail to resolve. For example, our monitoring system is able to follow (Forgues et al. 26) the small and rapid reservoir changes that the SAGD process (Steam Assisted by Gravity Drainage) often induces during heavy oil production. To submit adequate reservoir monitoring solutions, a 13-day continuous seismic acquisition operation was conducted as part of a larger experiment to qualify, quantify, and compare 4D seismic technologies. Sources and sensors were installed at the surface and buried below the weathering zone to compare the seismic repeatability in various configurations. This paper presents results of this experiment. Field Test Description To evaluate the impact of weather-related near surface variations on seismic data, a first piezoelectric source is attached to a concrete pad on the surface of the land while a second one is buried. The data is recorded by 28 sensors, 14 of which are installed at the surface and 14 others buried below the weathering zone (Figure 1).
2 Time (ms) Time (ms) (ms) GEO21 WZ Figure 1: Acquisition design of the experiment. The source signal is a 58-second wide frequency range sweep (12-3Hz) repeated every 6 seconds. It is provided by a high-tension amplifier synchronized with the SERCEL 48 recorder using the GPS clock. Seismic Repeatability To enhance the signal-to-noise ratio and to obtain daily shots, the signal is averaged continuously. The seismic repeatability of these shots is calculated for the various surface and buried configurations. Figure 2 shows results obtained from the surface source (top panels correspond to the surface sensors and bottom panels correspond to the buried sensors) and Figure 3 shows results obtained from the buried source.

Left panel: averaging of all shots recorded during the experiment. Middle panel: daily averages of the trace highlighted in yellow in the left panel. Right panel: differences between the daily average and the full average, multiplied by 1. In both figures, the left panel represents the super stack obtained by averaging all shots recorded during the 13 days of the experiment. The middle panel represents the daily averages of one particular trace (trace no.13, highlighted in yellow in the left panels). The right panel represents the differences between the daily average and the full average. This last panel gives a good idea of the seismic repeatability. For the surface source (Figure 2), differences to the mean trace must be multiplied by a factor 1 to get amplitudes comparable to the input signal. Repeatability is in the order of 1%. Note that burying the seismic source leads to a significant increase in repeatability. For the buried source, the differences to the mean trace must be multiplied by a factor 1 to get amplitudes comparable to the input signal (Figure 3, bottom right panel). Repeatability is in the order of 1%. As expected, the best repeatability is obtained when both the source and the sensors are buried. In the next section, we propose a quantification of the seismic repeatability for each configuration. Calculating 4D Attributes The selected 4D attributes are the time and amplitude variations averaged over 98 six-hour periods for all surface/buried combinations. They are obtained from the cross-correlation between six-hour averages and the corresponding full (13-day) average. The cross-correlations are computed within a time window including the signal above the reservoir only. For each particular trace and each particular stack, the time variation is the weight average of the phase spectrum of the cross-correlation divided by the frequency. The amplitude variation is the variation of the average over the frequency bandwidth of the amplitude spectrum of the cross-correlation. The time variations are represented in Figure 4 for each surface/buried configuration. The different curves represent the time shift evolution as a function of calendar time for each sensor. 5

The different panels correspond to different acquisition configurations. As shown in the previous section, the best repeatability is obtained for the buried source buried sensors configuration (top right corner) with time shifts lower than 1 µs, much less than are observed on conventional (surface) seismic. For the surface source recorded by the buried sensors (bottom left corner), we observe two different types of variation: a slow and global decrease of the time shifts as well as daily variations. The results are the same for all sensors which means that these variations are due to the same effect, interpreted as the weathering zone changes just below the surface source. If we compare these curves to the curves obtained with the buried source recorded by the surface sensors (bottom right corner), clear daily variations are no longer observed. Instead, a slow and global increase of the time shift is observed during the 13-day experiment. This shows that the weathering zone is locally different from one sensor to another and seems to the wave propagation for each sensor affect in a different way. For these two acquisition configurations, the time shifts variations are more or less equal to 15 µs. It is remarkable that the surface source-surface receivers panel (top left) shows a picture consistent with the buried-surface and surface-buried configurations: the low frequency trend is the sum of these (opposite) trends and the daily variations can be seen again. 4D attributes found for other acquisition configurations are summarized in Table 1.

Conclusions Over a 13-day period, seismic repeatability was measured for two piezoelectric sources (surface and buried) and two sets of 14 sensors (surface and buried). sensors are more sensitive to daily changes of the weathered layer than surface sources. Longer period changes are observed as well and, in this particular case, are of opposite sign on sources and receivers. As expected, the best repeatability is obtained when both source and sensors are buried. In this case, time and amplitude variations remain below 6 µs and.5%, respectively. This extremely high precision level is far above what can be expected from the most accurate surface acquisition methods currently available.
