Illuminating 3D Fractured Reservoirs by Integrating 2D VSP and Vertical Incidence Data

C042 ILLUMINATING 3D FRACTURED RESERVOIRS BY INTEGRATING 2D VSP AND VERTICAL INCIDENCE DATA ABSTRACT 1 Over the studied area of a fractured carbonate reservoir few faults or fracture zones were interpretable with confidence from the surface seismic data due to the variable quality of these data. From earlier experience [4] it was considered that VSP data may produce information on faulting and/or fracturing that may otherwise be difficult to determine with certainty. It is shown here that VSP including vertical incidence data can contribute to the understanding of the investigated reservoir and enables well-derived information to be extrapolated away from
