Long offset seismic data analysis for resources plays
(2014-07-31)
Wide-azimuth, long-offset seismic surveys are becoming increasingly common in unconventional exploration plays, where three the key objectives are to estimate the direction of maximum horizontal stress, to predict the ...
SEISMIC DATA MULTI-SPECTRAL ANALYSIS, ATTENUATION ESTIMATION AND SEISMIC SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY ENHANCEMENT APPLIED TO CONVENTIONAL AND UNCONVENTIONAL RESERVOIRS
(2017-08)
Seismic data are an essential resource for interpretation, providing abundant information about geological structures, sedimentation, stratigraphy and reservoir quality. Geophysicists have dedicated tremendous efforts in ...
Applied petroleum source rock evaluation and high-resolution sequence stratigraphy for unconventional reservoirs in La Luna Formation (Cenomanian- Santonian) Northwest Maracaibo Basin, Venezuela.
(2019-05-10)
Since the early 2000s, the exploitation of unconventional reservoirs has become very important around the world because of their high potential source of energy and their high economic value. Venezuela possesses a world-class, ...
SEISMIC SOLUTIONS FOR UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCE PLAYS
(2014-12)
Unconventional reservoir plays an increasingly important role for hydrocarbon exploration. Every reservoir has its unique properties, but it is mostly characterized by low permeability, such that hydraulic fracturing is ...
INTEGRATED STUDY ON SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHIC FRAMEWORK OF DEEPWATER JACKFORK GROUP AND WOODFORD SHALE
(2015-05-08)
Deepwater turbidites and unconventional shale reservoirs are two most important hydrocarbon resources in North America. To fully understand the hydrocarbon potentials of the deepwater reservoirs, we first need to utilize ...
COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF OKLAHOMA EARTHQUAKES: FROM EARTHQUAKE MONITORING TO 3D TOMOGRAPHY AND RELOCATION
(2016-08-19)
A better understanding of the basement, such as rock properties and faults orientation, is critical to study the earthquakes in central Oklahoma. The active seismicity in this region provides a great opportunity to study ...
Seismic Attribute Analysis of Depth-Migrated Data
(2016)
Most seismic attributes are originally designed and computed on time-migrated data. While some papers show the values of attribute analysis on depth-migrated data, few have compared the images to corresponding time-migrated ...
INTEGRATED STUDIES ON WOODFORD SHALE NATURAL FRACTURE ATTRIBUTES, ORIGIN, AND THEIR RELATION TO HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
(2017-12)
The Woodford Shale is a prolific hydrocarbon producing formation in Oklahoma. It is a silica and TOC rich, fractured reservoir and source rock. The natural fractures present within this formation, even though vital for ...
A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF RIFT RELATED STRUCTURES: INSIGHTS FROM LASER SCANNED CLAY MODELS AND 3-D SEISMIC INTERPRETATION
(2014-05)
Rifting describes the process of crustal stretching through which the brittle upper crust is subjected to extensional deformation (Falvey, 1974; Bally and Snelson, 1980; Wernicke and Burchfiel, 1982; Steckler, 1985; McKenzie, ...
