Resolving an AVO Ambiguity with Borehole Accoustic Data – A Case Study

F-42 RESOLVING AN AVO AMBIGUITY WITH BOREHOLE ACOUSTIC DATA – A CASE STUDY SCOTT DINGWALL 1 JEAN CLAUDE PUECH 2 and FRASER LOUDEN 3 Abstract 1 The use of AVO in deep-water exploration and development has achieved undoubted success to date and is now commonly regarded as a key component of the interpretation process. Quantitative calibration of the AVO response is also a crucial step in the work cycle with full waveform dipole sonic data and walkaway VSP’s providing the link between 3D surface seismic data and the reservoir. The use of borehole acoustic data in the AVO interpretation cycle
