Detecting karstification processes in hydrocarbon carbonate reservoirs is important because of their porosity, permeability and also the risk associated with their drilling. A very useful technique to locate buried karsts is 3D seismic. In this research, seismic frequency decomposition (spectral decomposition) and seismic inversion techniques used to identify these sub-surface diagenetic featur...

reservoir models are initially generated from estimates of specific rock properties and maps of reservoir heterogeneity. many types of information are used in reservoir model construction. one of the most important sources of information comes from wells, including well logs and core samples. unfortunately well log and core data are local measurements that may not reflect the reservoir behavior...

Knowledge of the distribution of permeability and porosity in a reservoir is necessary for the prediction of future oil production, estimation of the location of bypassed oil, and optimization of reservoir management. But while the volume of data that can potentially provide information on reservoir architecture and fluid distributions has increased enormously in the past decade, it is not yet ...

Abstract The Mediterranean-Atlantic water mass exchange provides the ideal setting for deciphering role of gateway evolution in ocean circulation. However, dynamics Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) during closure Late Miocene gateways are poorly understood. Here, we define sedimentary Neogene basins from Gulf Cádiz to West Iberian margin investigate MOW circulation latest Miocene. Seismic inte...

Geostatistical modeling methods for deep-water depositional systems, which provide a framework to characterize spatial uncertainty, have generally focused on channel-levee-overbank-lobe models. However, these models do not fit all deepwater depositional settings. For example, irregular surface topography of subaqueous mass-transport-deposits (MTDs) played a primary role in controlling the depos...

Abstract One of the primary purposes seismic stratigraphy is to evaluate components layer relationships within a depositional chronology. Prestack images contain wealth information, such as variations in offset and azimuth event, naturally produce higher-resolution facies analysis results than poststack data. However, prestack data usually suffer from potential unreliability issues due low sign...
