DHI and AVO Character of Different Tamar Sand Intervals

Almost a decade now in the Levantine Basin (offshore israel) major gas discoveries reveal the potential of the basin. Most of the discoveries were base on observed seismic anomalies. Multiple DHIs were the driving force for the successful exploration drilling campaigns. However, the nature of the seismic anomalies can be different depending on the different Tamar sands. That can be a challenging for future interpreters for identifying the correct DHI for the appropriate interval. In this paper the nature of those DHIs is going to be explained. Rock physics and AVO modeling performed for interpreting the nature of the DHIs. the geophysical forward modeling will prove the nature of the DHIs and can help future interpreters avoid interpretation pitfalls.
