Abstract:
As exploration moves into areas of increasing geological complexity and limited legacy data, reservoir evaluation is often based on the interpretation of one seismic image. Building a suitable velocity model followed by pre stack depth migration plays an important role in the creation of this image on which economic evaluations are often based. In many cases drilling commitments are planned long in advance. Geologists have a good idea about the geometry and size of a potential reservoir but require accurate interpretation and positioning in the depth domain.
