Determining saturation and pore pressure is relevant for hydrocarbon production as well natural gas [Formula: see text] storage. In this context, seismic methods provide spatially distributed data used to determine fluid migration. A method developed that allows the determination of reservoir from data, more accurately rock-physics attributes velocity, attenuation, density. Two models based on ...

effective approach to defining additional resources using 3-D seismic as the sole data source. Although this example is from a densely drilled province, such a seismic-based approach is often used in frontier areas with sparse well coverage, in step-out regions around known production, can be used for a “quick look” evaluation of existing properties, and for real-time interpretation of newly ac...

Abstract Sandstone channels are one of the best stratigraphic traps for hydrocarbon accumulation, and their depositional composition make them difficult to detect on ordinary seismic data, especially in structurally affected onshore areas like Western Desert Egypt. The Egypt has many hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs various compositions carbonates sandstones with high production rates, thus is re...
