![]() For years, it has been next to impossible to locate oil deposits underneath layers of salt because salt severely distorts traditional seismic data and makes interpretation almost impossible. Phillips geoscientists and engineers proved otherwise 80 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. In an area many thought was depleted, Phillips used supercomputers plus new, sophisticated visualization and processing techniques to correct the distortion and generate a clearer, more accurate image of the rock beneath the salt. The result? Discovery of the Mahogany oil field and confirmation of an exciting new technology.
