Research drives advances in subsalt exploration:
Lower Tertiary success improves with imaging technology

Excerpt

Offshore Magazine, Issue 6"The Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) places real and synthetic data into the hands of researchers, oil companies, and service companies to be used to improve both technology and methodology. At times, the SEG has sponsored synthetic 2D data sets in pre-stack time migration (PSTM) of over-thrusts and subsalt, and synthetic 3D of subsalt. SEG formed the SEG Advanced Modeling (SEAM) Corp. in 2007. SEAM is an industrial consortia dedicated to large-scale, leading-edge geophysical numerical modeling. SEAM projects provide the geophysical exploration community with geophysical model data for subsurface geological models at a level of complexity and size that cannot be practicably computed by any single company or small number of companies."
