3D-4C Acquisition Design for Fractures Characterization in Carbonate Reservoir - a Case History in Offshore Adriatic, The Emilio Field

F-33 3D-4C ACQUISITION DESIGN FOR FRACTURES CHARACTERIZATION IN CARBONATE RESERVOIR – A CASE HISTORY IN OFFSHORE ADRIATIC THE EMILIO FIELD Summary 1 The multicomponent 3D methodology is already well established as a suitable tool for imaging through gas clouds for fluid detection and for petrographic assessment; however there are very few examples of its use in fracture detection and characterization. A 3D-4C survey aimed to assess crack direction and density was planned on a gas-oil reservoir in the Adriatic Sea. The Emilio field resides in Eocene carbonate rocks characterized by low primary porosity and fractures. The feasibility study and the
