2 Messaging Improve productivity with faster and more interconnected workflows Focus main attention on most critical workflows 1. Re-rank and re-qualify prospects you thought you knew well Refine your older assessment of recoverable volumes for a more accurate evaluation of your assets worth 2. Revisit assets you don t know well: Quicker reinvestigation of assets with limited data Don t dismiss assets because limited data from qualification 3. Recover, process and visualize all available data from seismic for better imaging and property distribution New seismic imaging enhancements focus on reservoir formation fabric and properties, including Orthorhombic and Q (De-absorption) compensation and migration 4. Interdisciplinary workflows in HD Increase productivity Increase efficiency when using existing resources
