Abstract:
This case study applies the next generation of seismic AVO inversion technology to a project in the NW Carnarvon Basin offshore Western Australia. The technology is called WEB-AVO (Wave Equation Based – AVO Inversion) and no longer considers the earth as a series of layers with interfaces that create primary only reflections. The difference is that WEB-AVO does not use the reflectivity and convolution model. Instead, it applies the wave equation that considers the total wavefield in the reservoir interval. This includes primaries, interbed multiples, mode-conversions and transmission effects.
