Abstract

Abstract

Traditional exploration and prospecting for hydrocarbons (HC) has traditionally been carried out using seismic techniques. At the same time, it is well known that seismic techniques are inefficient in the presence of high-velocity layers (which reduce resolution at great depth), igneous rocks, thrusts within the crystalline basement, and tight limestone. Being sensitive to geological structure, seismic techniques are characterized by low resolution at the level of micro-parameters such as fluid type, porosity/ fracture, and degree of pores HC-saturation. Moreover, technical complications, e.g., highly rugged topography, dense vegetation and object remoteness may make seismic surveys difficult, expensive, or even impossible.
