Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd, a unit of Petronas has teamed up with a fully integrated global geoscience company CGG to set up a new Centre for Advanced Imaging (CAI).

The CAI, located at the Petronas Twin Towers, is a collaborative venture aimed at supporting Petronas’ growth strategy in expanding its resource base through exploration.

“Having access to CGG’s latest technology and expertise in high-end seismic and multi-physics imaging, and reservoir characterisation, is in line with Petronas’ corporate themes of collaboration, digital, pace and competency; augmenting Petronas’ global exploration efforts to expand our resource base through exploration.” said Petronas vice president of exploration, Emeliana Rice-Oxley.

The CAI is supported with a high-performance computing facility and CGG’s cutting-edge subsurface imaging technologies as part of the venture.

CAI focuses on collaboration in three key areas which are seismic processing, reservoir characterisation and multi-physics imaging.

“This provides CAI with the capability to undertake in-house seismic data processing, quantitative seismic interpretation and multi-physics processing at the pace and priority as needed.

“Seismic and multi-physics imaging and interpretation capabilities are fundamental to successful exploration strategy and efforts, managing exploration and development risks and maximising the potential of reserves,” she added.
