Abstract
A detailed seismic interpretation for reservoir characterization is a powerful tool to obtain information in the interwell<br>area for the purposes of field m anagement and development. This paper presents a workflow approach to<br>characterize La Victoria Field reservoirs, which belongs to Apure State in the Southwest of Venezuela, particularly<br>Escandalosa M Sand of Escandalosa Formation. The available 3D seismic data have been used to predict smallscale<br>faults as well as presence of internal compartments where undrained zones or bypassed oil might be located<br>in a mature oilfield. Additionally, reservoir engineering techniques as numerical simulation helped to verify reservoir<br>parameters estimated by history match ing in a black oil simulator, such as the sealing character of some faults,<br>identified from seismic interpretation.
