Description

RWM require access to specialist resources within the supply chain which have expertise in a diverse range of interpretation techniques, geological settings and industry backgrounds, in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of potential GDF locations to support the Site Evaluation Process. At this stage the requirement is to use legacy data and RWM's soon to be acquired 2D and 3D seismic datasets to perform a series of geological interpretations which will begin the process of characterising the potential host rock volume. The Primary focus of this task is to interpret the available seismic data to produce a detailed understanding of the geometry and stratigraphy of the potential host rock volume, a secondary element is to combine this with legacy borehole data to enhance the characterisation. Additional aspects of the work which RWM may wish to discuss would include the use of other techniques such as rock physics and seismic inversion alongside geological modelling

Additional aspects of the work which RWM may wish to discuss would include the use of other techniques such as rock physics and seismic inversion alongside geological modelling etc...
RWM anticipate, that due to the complexity of some sites, there will be a range of possible interpretations and therefore are particularly keen to understand their probability and uncertainty.
