Quantitative Calibration of Seismic to Wells and Probabilistic AVO

We present deterministic and probabilistic methods to quantitatively calibrate pre-stack seismic data to well data before AVO analysis. We then show how to use the calibrated seismic data with probabilistic AVO methods to analyze the prospectivity of a step-out exploration prospect several kilometers away from well control with the goal of identifying and quantifying hydrocarbons.
