A Proposed Workflow for Heavy Oil Reservoir Characterization Using Multicompnent Seismic Data

1 A11 A PROPOSED WORKFLOW FOR HEAVY OIL RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION USING MULTICOMPONENT SEISMIC DATA R. KENDALL* P. F. ANDERSON L. CHABOT F. D. GRAY EAGE/SEG Research Workshop – Pau France 5 – 8 September 2005 Veritas Suite 2200 715 – 5 th Avenue SW Calgary Alberta Canada T2P 5A2 Summary Over the past few years multicomponent data have been used increasingly in the development of heavy oil projects either for improved noise attenuation methods (Kendall 2005) or for the additional information that the multicomponent seismic provides the interpreter. One of the challenges with multicomponent seismic data is understanding and managing
