Apache's exploration and production technology group promotes the application of technology to maximize asset values, provides technical support for Apache operations and staff, evaluates emerging technologies appropriate for Apache operations and organizes technical training.
Current technology focus areas include:
Improve quality and lower cost of 3-D seismic acquisition and processing.
Provide oversight of 4-D seismic and seismic inversion programs.
Augment 3-D seismic interpretation through visualization and rock physics.
Expand the use of digital geoscience and engineering subsurface databases.
Facilitate use of satellite imagery and GIS systems.
Improve efficiency of production chemistry programs.
Optimize hydraulic fracture stimulation.
Evaluate and recommend horizontal drilling candidates.
Expand petrophysical and log analysis expertise.
Evaluate shale gas and tight gas sand opportunities.
Provide geologic modeling, reservoir characterization and simulation services.
