oa 3-D Seismic Attributes Applied to Carbonates To Detect Small Faults And Potential Fractures: A Case Study From Kuwait

In general it is diffi cult to map minor faults and other trace to trace discontinuities hidden in 3D seismic data which has direct bearing<br>on proper reservoir description. Often these subtle faults and discontinuities appear as minor changes in seismic waveform which are not<br>easily correlatable to map them by conventional interpretation techniques. To map these appropriate 3D seismic attributes sensitive to<br>the existence of subtle faults and fractures has been investigated in the target reservoir, the Early Cretaceous (Albian) Mauddud Formation<br>of Raudhatain Field of North Kuwait.
