Abstract
The project discussed here was one of those conducted under the veil of company secrecy, in this case by Shell, and thus was never published. However, I feel it will be acceptable to all concerned to present the historical aspects of the project inasmuch as the company long ago sold all interest in the fields. The limited areal extent of the experiment likely makes it insignificant except for its timing and the experimentation with combined 3-D applications and the new (at the time) bright-spot technology.
