Gulf of Mexico EDGE

Answers ahead of upcoming Central Gulf of Mexico lease sales

The Schlumberger EDGE project provides a detailed regional view over the prolific deepwater Central Gulf of Mexico through the combination of the most advanced seismic acquisition techniques, earth model building, and imaging technologies.

One unified earth model

Our geologically-consistent earth model leverages the inline image clarity of wide-azimuth acquisition (WAZ) and the azimuthal coverage and long-offset velocity of dual coil shooting multivessel full-azimuth acquisition (FAZ).

This is the first time public geological and borehole data and proprietary multiclient data has been integrated into the modeling process. With one unified earth model, you can see the underexplored subsalt structures of the Central Gulf of Mexico like never before.
