The Use of Fluid Substitution and Seismic Modelling for Well Planning

B-9 THE USE OF FLUID SUBSTITUTION AND SEISMIC MODELLING FOR WELL PLANNING Abstract 1 The following paper describes a case history that demonstrates how fluid substitution and seismic modelling can be utilised for well path planning and field evaluation. A seismic anomaly identified in a recent seismic data set was of particular interest. For well planning purposes it was important to establish whether the anomaly could be due to hydrocarbon effects. A low cost and efficient method of fluid substitution and seismic modelling is presented here and applied to a small data set of four key wells demonstrating that the
