Petrol ve Doğalgaz Aramalarında Yeni Bir Çözüm: Çok Yüksek Çözünürlüğe Sahip Sismik Algılayıcı
Çok uluslu petrol şirketi Shell ile uluslararası bilgi teknolojileri şirketi Hewlett-Packard (HP), İngiltere’deki 2010 Uluslararası Petrol Haftası‘nda, petrol ve doğalgaz aramalarında kullanıalcak olan çok yüksek çözünürlüklü sismik veriler elde edebilen kablosuz bir sismograf sistemi geliştireceklerini duyurdu. Bu sistem sayesinde, araştırma yapan firmalar daha rahat bir şekilde yeraltı kaynaklarına ulaşabileceği belirtiliyor.
Peki sistem nasıl çalışacak? Petrol ve doğalgaz endüstrisinin en verimli yataklara erişebilmesi için üretilen yüksek kaliteli sismograflarla (ivmeölçerlerle) yeraltındaki kaynaklar hakkında ayrıntılı veriler elde edilecek ve depolanacak. Böylece yeni petrol ve doğalgaz yataklarının ekonomik değer taşıyıp taşımadığı belirlenebilicek, daha verimli fizibilite çalışmaları yapılabilecek ve işletilen yatakların rezervleri daha doğru bir şekilde izlenecek.
Daha fazla sinyal kanalını daha geniş bir frekans aralığında kullanan yeni sistem sismik veri kalitesini büyük ölçüde artırıyor. Yüksek çözünürlüklü sismograf sistemi mevcut donanımlardan çok daha güvenli bir şekilde kullanılabiliyor ve işletim maliyetlerini düşürüyor. HP Labs ile Görüntüleme ve Baskı Grubu tarafından geliştirilen yüksek performanslı algılama teknolojisini içeren yeni sistemin verilerini saklamak, için bilgi işlem ve yazılım ürünleriyle birlikte HP ProCurve network hizmetleri kullanılacak.

“HP and Shell are collaborating to develop a wireless sensing system to acquire extremely high-resolution seismic data on land. HP and Shell will use their complementary knowledge and experience to produce a groundbreaking solution that can sense, collect and store geophysical data.
HP Sensing Solutions
HP has developed an inertial sensing technology that enables a new class of ultrasensitive, low-power MEMS accelerometers that are up to 1,000 times more sensitive than high-volume, commercial products.Integrating the devices within a complete system that encompasses numerous sensor types, networks, storage capabilities, and computation and analysis tools that monitor the environment, assets, and health and safety, enables a new level of awareness, revolutionizing communication between objects and people.
The new sensing technology represents a breakthrough in nano sensing research and uses the fluidic MEMS technology codeveloped over the past 25 years by HP Labs – the company’s central research arm – and the company’s Imaging and Print Group. The technology is a key enabler of HP’s vision for a new information ecosystem, the Central Nervous System for the Earth (CeNSE).”

Shell and HP to Develop Ultrahigh-resolution Seismic Sensing Solution
A leap forward in oil and gas exploration
At International Petroleum Week 2010, HP and Shell today announced a collaboration to develop a wireless sensing system to acquire extremely high-resolution seismic data on land.
The oil and gas industry requires high-quality seismic data to accurately assess exploration prospects for commercial viability and to effectively monitor producing reservoirs. By delivering a much higher channel count and a broader sensor frequency range than are currently available, the new system promises to vastly improve the quality of seismic data.
HP and Shell will use their complementary knowledge and experience to produce a groundbreaking solution to sense, collect and store geophysical data. The system is designed to integrate seamlessly with Shell’s high-performance computing and seismic imaging environment and to be deployed safely and more cost-effectively than current systems.
“We think this will represent a leap forward in seismic data quality that will provide Shell with a competitive advantage in exploring difficult oil and gas reservoirs, such as sub-salt plays in the Middle East or unconventional gas in North America,” said Gerald Schotman, executive vice president, Innovation/Research and Development, Shell. “As a result of this exciting collaboration, we expect to fully realize the potential of Shell’s processing and imaging technology on land.”
The new system reflects the breadth of HP’s portfolio. It will be delivered by HP Enterprise Services and includes a recent breakthrough in high-performance sensing technology from HP Labs – the company’s central research arm – and the company’s Imaging and Printing Group. Additionally, the system uses HP ProCurve networking products along with HP storage, computation and software products.
“These advances in technology to discover energy resources could transform the ability to pinpoint abundant new oil and gas reserves,” said Joe Eazor, senior vice president and general manager, HP Enterprise Services. “HP is uniquely positioned to offer Shell a complete sensor system that delivers innovation to address key technical seismic challenges.”
This strategic relationship with Shell is a cornerstone in HP’s blueprint for an information ecosystem that empowers people to make better, faster decisions to improve safety, security and environmental sustainability while transforming business economics. Sensing solutions are positioned to provide a new level of awareness through a network of sensors, data storage, and analysis tools that monitor the environment, assets, and health and safety.
