Following the success of the recently completed 79-well Barents Sea Rock Physics Study and Atlas of Seismic Expression, RSI has received sufficient support from Norwegian-based exploration companies to justify the commencement of a 61-well Mid-Norway Rock Physics Study and Atlas of Seismic Expression. The principal goal of the Study will be to examine the response of seismic data, and optionally electromagnetic data, to changes in fluid saturation. It is anticipated that the Study will be a fundamental component of any Cretaceous prospect de-risking process in the region. More information on both Studies can be found @ www.rocksolidimages.com/norway.

RSI President Gareth Taylor stated: "We are delighted that a number of the Barents Sea Study underwriters were sufficiently pleased with the Study to recommend we undertake a similar product in the Mid-Norway region ahead of the APA 2012 licensing round and the 22nd Round."

Taylor further commented: "All of the 61 wells are conditioned top-to-bottom for geophysical purposes using RSI's comprehensive GWLA® (geophysical well log analysis) workflow that has been applied to more than 3,100 wells, globally; rock physics modeling is also conducted to assess the seismic AVO response to changes in fluid saturation. The final product is an indispensable reference tool for understanding fluid signatures in the prospective Cretaceous Springar, Nise, Lysing and Lange formations."
