On September 13th 2018, we participated to the GeoTeric’s Technology Day in Houston:
Here is the abstract of our presentation:
SEISMIC FACIES, LITHOFACIES, AND CROSS PLOTS – TOWARDS IMPROVED PREDICTIONS
Ken Abdulah and Clémence Prazuck
Abstract
We state the obvious by saying that a tremendous amount of technology, skill and effort go in to acquiring and processing the seismic data sets used to reconstruct three-dimensional views of the subsurface. The plural term views, rather than the singular term view, is used here since the drill bit is a constant reminder that our interpretations remain non-unique. To be proven accurate, subsurface models need to capture complex changes in lithology, stacking geometry and fluid content.
Fortunately for the interpreter, technology and innovation continue to improve our ability to unravel the geological information captured within seismic traces. However, the inverse problem remains a challenge and integrated interpretations require broad toolkits. The authors will discuss how they approach seismic data interpretation through the use of processes and workflows available in the GeoTeric® and PaleoScan® software suites. Their integrated workflows include the use of well-log cross sections and cross plots, frequency decomposition, interactive seismic facies analysis and relative geological time models, all towards improved predictions.
