Value of visual attributes: revisiting dip and azimuth displays for 3D seismic interpretation
By D. DalleyLast December as part of First Break’s celebration of its 25th anniversary, we re-published an article from 1989 by Dick Dalley* and his co-authors which has subsequently been recognized as a hugely important contribution to 3D seismic interpretation method. In this new article, Dalley, then with Shell and now with 3D ComputerVision, has added some new commentary on how the value of visual attributes has come to be acknowledged over the past 20 years and on the work that still needs to be done.

Designing simulation software for multiple reservoirs producing to a common surface facility
Authors R. Mossbarger, G. Fleming and J. KilloughRon Mossbarger, Graham Fleming, and John Killough from Halliburton’s Landmark business unit describe the thinking behind the company’s latest reservoir simulation software. Years of experience gained from extracting oil and gas from subsurface reservoirs have led most producers to conclude that by properly managing their reservoirs they can extend their assets’ lifespan and increase total production. This realization has led to the development of a variety of technologies and techniques that enable optimization of hydrocarbon recovery and better reservoir characterization.

Atlantis static connectivity study: predicting compartmentalization prior to first oil
Authors J.A. Kurtz and K.F. AngelAbstract For every oil field, there is a challenge in understanding and characterizing compartmentalization from the first exploration well to the cessation of production. This challenge is even more pronounced in regions like the Gulf of Mexico where dynamic well test data are seldom available prior to first production. Hence, utilization of all available static data to predict field performance becomes essential: but how should we integrate seismic data, geological models, pressure measurements, and fluid samples in a meaningful way? The Atlantis subsurface team took on this challenge by integrating existing static data with previous compartmentalization studies to develop an original approach for assessing pre-production static reservoir compartmentalization.
