Normal reflection from a fractured reservoir is analyzed using frequency-dependent seismic attributes. Processing of 3D low-frequency seismic data from a West-Siberian reservoir produced an accurate delineation of the fractured hydrocarbon-bearing zones. P-wave propagation, reflection and transmission at an impermeable interface between elastic and dual-porosity poroelastic media is investigate...

Unconventional hydrocarbon reserves substantially surpass those of conventional resources and therefore are extremely economically attractive. However, exploration and production of unconventional reserves is challenging. This paper demonstrates that one can observe significant induced polarization effects in shale reservoir rocks, which can be used in exploration for unconventional reserves. T...

Finding a representative fluid in a hydrocarbon reservoir is crucial for integrated reservoir management. In this study, a systematic approach for screening and selecting consistent fluid samples in a reservoir was developed. The model integrated quality control (QC) of well conditioning before sampling, QC of PVT data, thermodynamic modeling and compositional gradient within a reservoir. Well ...

the direct way to access the petrophysical property of hydrocarbon reservoir is based on well data but due to its high cost, the seismic data has been used to obtain these parameters. for this purpose, many different methods are available and each has its own advantages and limitations. from these methods the seismic inversion is the best tool to study the reservoir characterization. the outcom...

Oil-gas reservoir exploration using hyperspectral remote sensing, which based on the theory of hydrocarbon microseepage information and fine spectral response of target, is a new direction for the application of remote sensing technology. In this paper, Qaidam Basin and Liaodong Bay in China were selected as the study areas. Based on the hydrocarbon microseepage theory, the analysis of crude oi...

The numerous recent laboratory and field examples show the potential benefits of seismic low frequencies in hydrocarbon detection. To simulate the frequency-dependent response of turbidite reservoirs in JZ Area, the Bohai Sea, China, and then implement frequency-dependent detection of the hydrocarbon accumulation based on low frequencies, we expanded a diffusive and viscous wave equation (DVWE)...

The well Sarai Sidhu-01 is located on Punjab Platform, Central Indus Basin, Pakistan. Punjab Platform is the eastern part of Central Indus Basin, and tectonically it is the stable portion of Indus Basin, which was least affected during Tertiary Himalayan orogeny. This study attempts to decipher reservoir potential for hydrocarbon exploration. It aims to delineate a subsurface hydrocarbon bearin...

flow unit characterization plays an important role in heterogeneity analysis and reservoir simulation studies. usually, a correct description of the lateral variations of reservoir is associated with uncertainties. from this point of view, the well data alone does not cover reservoir properties. because of large well distances, it is difficult to build the model of a heterogenic reservoir, but ...
