Insert 2007 P-Cable survey showing auto-tracked interpretation based on the high resolution seismic. High level of structural details showing a variety of glacial features (although some acquisition imprints are visible. Notice how the GP3 gas producer (location based on conventional seismic) is located in a deep plough mark feature previously invisible. This illustrates a key benefit of using P-Cable high resolution 3D seismic in the field development.
