Seismic expression of miocene carbonate platform and reservoir characterization through geophysical approach: application in central Luconia, offshore Malaysia

Abstract A substantial proportion of proven oil and gas reserves the world is contained in carbonate reservoir. It estimated that about 60% world’s 40% are confined reservoirs. Exploration development hydrocarbons reservoirs much more challenging due to poor seismic imaging reservoir heterogeneity caused by diagenetic changes. Evaluation has been a high priority for researchers geoscientists working petroleum industry mainly challenges presented these highly heterogeneous rocks. essential geoscientists, petrophysicists, engineers work together from initial phases exploration delineation pool through mature stages production, extract as information possible produce maximum field commercial viability project. In absence well-log data, properties inferred inversion data alone. production industries, tool tracing subsurface facies their fluid contents. this paper, demonstrates understanding lithology includes full band frequency our model incorporate detailed study basin prospect evaluation. 3D along with geological & petrophysical electrologs acquired drilled wells used interpretation understand geometry variation including distribution intervening tight layers within Miocene area Central Luconia. The out-come post-stack technique shows better lithofacies
