Fractured Reservoir Characterisation from Seismic and Well Analysis – A Case Study

E034 Fractured reservoir characterisation from seismic and well analysis: a case study Abstract 1 The performance of naturally fractured reservoirs is controlled by the orientation intensity and spatial distribution of open fractures. In this paper we present the results of a recent fracture characterization study based on P-wave azimuthal anisotropy using interval velocities and RMS amplitude maps. A consistent processing sequence was applied to all azimuth sectors in order to preserve the quality of the azimuthal anisotropy information. A proprietary geostatistical decomposition technique was applied to ensure more stable and accurate estimates of the fracture intensity and direction. These results
