Possibilities of Seismic Method by Hydrocarbon Resources and Reserves Estimation on the Arctic Shelf Local Objects.

At the shelf exploration the seismic methods are very important at all of exploration stages: from<br>eliciting of big crust elements and local patterns till detailed analysis of reservoirs. It is linked to very high<br>cost of off-shore drilling and necessity of careful choice of dots of wells locations. Moreover, even some<br>process absolutisation of seismic method is scheduled and for many geologists and management people<br>recently the illusion was constructed that the seismic survey can almost everything, in particular in 3Dmodification.<br>And as if the models of the reservoirs obtained on seismic given, with allocation of filteringcapacity<br>properties in the media are rather exact and are close to true. In this connection it is necessary to<br>remind establishing principles, which one underlie a seismic method, and, outgoing from this, once again to<br>be fixed on a place of seismic method in the exploration process.
