Chimney Detection as a Tool in Hydrocarbon Exploration and Prospect Evaluation–A Case Study from Persian Gulf

Chimney detection is a technique which can be used as an exploration tool that provides important information for prospect evaluation and charged or non-charged prospects identification.The method applies multi trace seismic attributes, neural network modeling and the interpreter's insight.The approach shows how a fault can separate a reservoir in two parts with different hydrocarbon bearing behaviors.The results indicate in effect of fault sealing characteristic, The whole of reservoir horizons are not gas bearing and fault has divided it in two parts and acted as a seal and barrier between them
