Abstract
The oil industry is increasingly reliant on the analysis of seismic data for the quantitative prediction of fluids<br>and reservoirs. This includes technologies such as DHIs (direct hydrocarbon indicators), AVA (amplitude<br>vs. angle), quantitative attribute analysis, and visualization. Such techniques are critical to identify and<br>characterize new wildcat opportunities, optimize developments, and exploit remaining reserves in mature<br>fields.
