Seismic Amplitude Variation as Indicator of Reservoir Distribution Beneath an Angular Unconformity: Goodwyn Field, Northwest Shelf, Australia

J. P. Dorrier

Seismic-stratigraphic interpretation, two-dimensional seismic modeling, and seismic attribute analysis have been used to predict gas- and condensate-bearing reservoir distribution beneath a prominent angular unconformity at Goodwyn field, offshore on Australia's Northwest Shelf. The results of techniques applied are consistent with existing well data. Similar techniques have general application for exploration and delineation of hydrocarbon reservoirs beneath angular unconformities.
