Sub-basalt imaging - new insight from investigations of petrophysical and seismic properties of Faroes basalts (SeiFaBa project)
The development of methods of seismic imaging beneath basalt is still hindered by a lack of knowledge about the elastic properties of basaltic sequences and the degree of three-dimensional heterogeneity. The SeiFaBa project (2002- 2005) is funded by the Sindri Group as part of the programmes for lic...

The development of methods of seismic imaging beneath basalt is still hindered by a lack of knowledge about the elastic properties of basaltic sequences and the degree of three-dimensional heterogeneity. The SeiFaBa project (2002- 2005) is funded by the Sindri Group as part of the programmes for licensees within the Faroese area and will address these issues. The first year included drilling of a new 700-m deep well, Glyvursnes-1, near Tórshavn with full core, reaming of the existing 660 m deep Vestmanna-1 well farther north, and the acquisition of a wide range of wireline logs in both wells. The two wells represent almost half of the exposed lava sequence and are central to a number of co-ordinated experiments. These are targeted at creating firm data-derived models for seismic wave propagation through basalt by combining detailed analysis at core, log and seismic scales.
