New 4D Seismic Tools for Carbonate Reservoirs

P664 NEW 4D SEISMIC TOOLS FOR CARBONATE RESERVOIRS M.NICKEL J. SCHLAF and L. SØNNELAND Abstract 1 Carbonate reservoirs are often significantly more demanding to explore and produce than siliciclastic reservoirs. The reasons for this are typically complex depositional facies with intense fracturing and diagenetic effects. Time-lapse seismic monitoring of carbonate reservoirs might identify subsidence and the flow properties of the fracture network which often make up migration paths for hydrocarbons or injector fluids. Knowing these dynamic components of the reservoir behavior helps the asset team to improve the management of the produced water and detect by-passed pay. In this paper
