Turbidite systems are complex heterogeneous siliciclastic deposits calling for a new approach to geophysical and geostatistical reservoir characterization. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the integration of seismic amplitude and rock physics data into realistic geological scenarios using a novel geostatistical approach. Avseth (2000, 2001 with others) presented an integrated rock physic...

In the Bulgarian Black Sea shelf, several gas fields have been discovered in Maastrichtian–Paleocene sediments to date. this study, amplitude versus offset analysis (AVO) was carried out, and extended elastic impedance (EEI) also used, predict fluid lithology properties. Thus, these special cases, AVO (or reflection angle) can significantly de-risk existing Paleocene prospects allow focus on Mi...

the oudna field part of the offshore northeastern tunisia, straddles between two structural domains, the tunisian atlas to the north and the pelagian sea to the south. the study of this field has confirmed adequate petroleum system in fahdene formations (albian-cenomanian) and birsa (serravallian) resulting from the combination of several sedimentary, tectonic and thermal factors. to do this, w...

Lake Oroville is a large artificial lake created by the construction of a 235-mhigh earth dam on the Feather River, California, near the city of Oroville. Its storage capacity is about 4.4 × 109 m 3, and its maximum depth is about 200 m. There was no significant increase in seismic activity in the lake region following impoundment of the dam late in 1967 until the occurrence of many small seism...

We have characterized a promising geothermal prospect using an integrated approach involving microseismic monitoring data, well logs, and 3D surface seismic data. We have used seismic as well as microseismic data along with well logs to better predict the reservoir properties to try and analyze the reservoir for improved mapping of natural and induced fractures. We used microseismic-derived vel...

Three well - known source rocks of the Zagros basin and the Persian Gulf are Mesozoic in age.The Jurassic Sargelu, Albian Kazhdumi and Neocomian-Coniacian Garau formations have charged the Cretaceous reservoirs of this area. The northwest part of the Persian Gulf is strongly influenced by two major N-S trending paleohighs (Hendijan- Bahregansar-Regesafid-Izeh and Kharge- Mish) and surrounding p...

Abstract Otan-Ile field, located in the transition zone Niger Delta, is characterized by complex structural deformation and faulting which lead to high uncertainties of reservoir properties. These greatly affect exploration development thus require proper characterization. Reservoir characterization requires integration different data such as seismic well log data, are used develop model. There...
