BackgroundAl Shaheen field is located in block 5 offshore north-

ern Qatar and is operated under a production sharing agreement on behalf of Qatar Petroleum. The oilfield concession is currently under open bidding as of Q2 2015. Project status

February 2016: Maersk Oil reveals the development project at the Al Shaheen field offshore Qatar is pro-gressing as planned with 80 per cent of the drilling programme currently completed.

Project scopeThe scope of the work comprise:

• Drilling of some 40 new production wells;• 20 new water injection wells;• Conversion of 14 existing wells to water injection;• Construction and installation of new production plat-forms, interconnected with pipelines;• Facilities for gas compression;• A gas export pipeline to Qatar Petroleum’s North Field Alpha platform, offshore Qatar; and• A number of appraisal wells will be drilled to evalu-ate possible further production potential.Project financeThis project client is Qatar Petroleum, who has oper-ated the field jointly with Maersk Oil since 1992.

PERFORMED by DMT GbmH & Co, one of the largest ever inner-city 3D surveys came to a successful end last week. The Essen based tech-nology service provider, contracted by Stadtwerke München Services GmbH (Munich’s municipal utilities company), had spent four months exploring deep underground in southern Munich by means of vibroseis-mic methods.

Stadtwerke München (SWM) aims to switch all of its power to renewable energy by the year 2040. A prerequisite for this is, of course, finding suitable locations for new geothermal plants. Hence, SWM commissioned DMT to explore an area of approximately 170 square kilometers in a 3D seismic survey, which started in early November 2015.

“As far as I know, this project is the world’s largest inner-city 3D seis-mic survey carried out to date,” explains Prof Dr Eiko Räkers, Chair-man of the DMT Board of Management. “The challenges of operating 26-tonne vibroseis trucks right in the middle of a city with a million-strong population are not to be underestimated. The conditions are miles apart from those we face in Ethiopia, for example, where another of DMT’s seismic teams is currently in operation.”

Three such vibroseis vehicles produced the seismic waves during the seismic survey in Munich. The signal reflections were recorded at al-most 8,000 recording points by applying 12 geophones at each location.

“The environment-friendly vibroseismic method is particularly suit-able for built-up areas as it uses controlled signal sources and doesn’t cause strong vibrations”, explains Räkers. “The main issue in the inner city, though, is traffic (buses, trams, refuse collection trucks), as well as temporary roadworks and the many pedestrians who try to quickly pass between the vehicles. The cable team had a difficult job, especially maintaining the cables, which were predominantly in cable bridges sus-pended in the air. Never before has a seismic survey been carried out with so many cable bridges, which also made assembly and dismantling considerably more complicated.”
