CSEM performance in light of well results

During the past several years, we have seen an increasing focus on the use of CSEM technology for hydrocarbon exploration in marine environments and, recently, a number of success stories have been published. The technology has been demonstrated to aid both detection and delineation of hydrocarbon-filled reservoirs.
