Abstract

Summary

A multi-stage seismic attribute workflow was implemented to enhance the detection and mapping of faults, fractures, and karst corridors. Seismic data conditioning was performed to improve signal-to-noise ratio and highlight structural discontinuities.

The integration of seismic attribute-derived faults and fractures into the reservoir model resulted in significant improvements in history matching of oil rates and water cuts. The refined structural framework enabled the simulation to capture preferential flow paths, early water breakthrough, and compartmentalization effects observed in the field. The approach also improved well placement strategies by avoiding karstified and highly fractured zones, reducing drilling hazards, and maximizing reservoir exposure.

The use of advanced geosteering technologies and real-time inversion of deep azimuthal resistivity data further enhanced well placement accuracy and reservoir contact.
