Abstract: The State-of-The-Art Of 3-D Seismic Previous HitTechnologyNext Hit: Integrated Multicomponent Previous HitCharacterizationNext Hit Of Carbonate and Clastic Reservoirs

Three-dimensional multicomponent (3-D, 3-C) reflection seismology is the Previous HittechnologyNext Hit of the future for Previous HitreservoirNext Hit Previous HitcharacterizationNext Hit. Applications of this emerging Previous HittechnologyNext Hit provide quantitative solutions for porosity and permeability determinations within both clastic and carbonate reservoirs that are unattainable from compressional-wave seismic data alone. A 3-D, 3-C seismic survey over a clastic valley-fill Previous HitreservoirNext Hit in the Pennsylvanian Morrow Formation at Sorrento Field, southeastern Colorado, USA, demonstrates the application of this Previous HittechnologyNext Hit to identify and characterize a sandstone Previous HitreservoirNext Hit. At Joffre Field, Alberta, Canada, multicomponent 3-D seismic data characterize carbonate intervals in the Devonian Nisku and Leduc Formations. Those two recent studies mark a major turning point in the use of seismic Previous HittechnologyNext Hit for Previous HitreservoirNext Hit Previous HitcharacterizationNext Hit. Today, timelapse Previous HitmonitoringNext Hit of petroleum reservoirs, using new 3-D multicomponent Previous HittechnologyTop, emerges as the next seismic frontier.
