Abstract
In recent years, 3D Seismic Techniques have acquired an increasing importance in field appraisal and development. The results obtained, in terms of greater knowledge of the geological setting, more accuracy in field development and finally in the rate of success, have spurred oil companies to move quickly towards 3D Exploration Surveys, in spite of the considerable investments involved. Once again, the outcome of 3D surveys has confirmed that the rate of success in properly locating wells on the basis of 3D seismie data has increased dramatically, especially in areas characterized by a complex geological setting.
