Since 2002, Kerr-McGee has been using regional (several hundred OCS blocks) 3D prestack depth migrations for exploration in Northeast Garden Banks, located the deepwater Gulf of Mexico (Figure 1). Advances imaging technology, as well experience learned subsalt Mexico, have impacted ways we evaluate and explore past few years. The migration provided better understanding petroleum systems (salt tectonics, sediment fairways, traps, etc.) reduced risks.

The field located about 150 miles to south Houston, 3700 ft water it part Greater Nansen-Boomvang which includes West, North, Boomvang as well Navajo Fields total reserves up 320 million barrels oil equivalent (MMBOE)....
