Stratigraphy, Facies and Oil and Gas Potential Prospects of the Upper Cambrian of the Igarka-Norilsk Structure-Facies Zone
By D.A. KomlevSummaryAs a result of detailed stratigraphic and lithofacies analysis of two standard sections of the Cambrian of the Igaro-Norilsk structure-facies zone, it was established that in the study area the Upper Cambrian deposits accumulated in 4 facial zones: 1) deeply submerged shelf and basin margin; 2) slope of the carbonate platform; 3) front of the carbonate platform; 4) shelf lagoon, intertidal and supratidal zones. The greatest development of reservoirs is predicted in the Kulyumbe, Uyigur and Tukalanda formations, which are represented by carbonate platform edge facies, polycyclic shallow lagoon and tidal flat sediments. The oil and gas potential prospects scheme have been composed on the basis of paleogeographic reconstructions taking into account structural and geochemical criteria.

The Forecast of Complexly Built Traps in the Kharasavey-Bovanenkovo Region of Western Siberia Based on the Results of Basin Modeling
Authors V.L. Shuster and L.I. ZinatullinaSummaryToday there is an urgent need to replenish the resource base by increasing hydrocarbon reserves. In recent years, more and more actively in all oil and gas producing countries of the world, the technology of oil and gas bearing systems modeling is used to solve problems associated with the forecast of oil and gas potential and the choice of priority areas of exploration for oil and gas. The technology allows you to create a regional geological model of any territory in size based on the complex of geological, geophysical and geochemical materials available at this stage, to evaluate oil and gas potential, bringing together the results of structural and litofacial analysis, petrophysical and geochemical studies, reproducing the fluid-dynamic development of the studied region at all stages of geological stories. The paper presents the main results of basin modeling and provides brief conclusions. Also, some information is presented in the work on the new technology of seismic prospecting of MOV OGT 3D using scattered waves, which makes it possible to forecast the development zones of decomposed reservoir rocks in dense rocks.

South-East Pre-Caspian Post-Salt Succession. Application of 2D Full-Stack Seismic Inversion Technology for Predicting Reservoir Properties
Authors B. Oraz, G. Zholtayev, G. Akhmetzhanova, R. Abuyev and A. AkhmetzhanovSummaryThe results of 2D full-stack seismic inversion technology for predicting reservoir properties applied to the area under the study area within Triassic succession of the south-east Pre-Caspian sedimentary basin. Hydrocarbons, mostly oil trapped by salt dome wall and faults. Full-stack seismic lines, wireline logging data and seismic velocity were integrated to generate P-impedance volume. The porosity was estimated from the relationship between the absolute P-Impedance result and the porosity effective at the well locations. Generally, low P-Impedance or high porosity packages over the area indicate higher probability of hydrocarbon sands in the Reservoir interval. The localized high P-Impedance at the Reservoir interval at the northern part of area could reveal the distribution of the micro-conglomerate reservoir, however more geological-geophysical should be integrated to interpret anomalous geobodies. Data obtained allows concluding that it is not possible to discriminate the distribution of the hydrocarbon sands due to strong overlap of the acoustic impedance of the hydrocarbon bearing sands and the background lithology.

Authors A.R. Kurchikov, A.G. Plavnik and M.V. ItskovitchSummaryThe method and results of modelling the hydrogeochemical spatial patterns in the Cretaceous and Jurassic sediments of the Koltogor and Tolkin troughs and surrounding areas of the West Siberian megabasin are presented. The model of hydrogeochemical conditions is constructed as series maps of the groundwater salinity in Formations, as well as NS and EW oriented cross-sections. Results indicate a significant variability of groundwater salinity both as a whole in the Jurassic-Cretaceous sediments, and within individual aquifer. The revealed substantial heterogeneity of hydrogeochemical conditions in the Jurassic-Cretaceous sediments indicates the complex genesis of the groundwater chemical composition.

Authors E.V. Kireev, I.R. Khalilov, L.A. Andreev and M.A. SibilevSummaryThe existing geological and geophysical tools do not allow to forecast Petro elastic properties of rocks of the upper part of the section. Modern methods of GIS and seismic exploration do not allow to characterize the upper part of the section due to the limited diameter and depth. Therefore, to solve this problem in the marine environment, a technique was developed to predict the elastic properties of rocks according to engineering-geological surveys (hereinafter IGI).

Multi-Scaled Fractured Medium Modelling by ACS Algorithms
Authors V.V. Masjukov and O.S. YurchenkoSummaryRecently we presented a new algorithm of natural fractal structure evolution (NFSE). Application of the algorithm in question with interpolation for sequential iterative reduction of the grid step gives opportunity for multi-scaled super-resolution imaging of fractured geological medium. The main goal of this approach is to fill (reduce) the objective information vacuum between seismic and wells scales. In the present study we develop new ACS (Ant colony simulation) methods for this purpose. A number of tests show that the new technology results are generally adequate to natural observations.

Numerical Simulation of Seismic Wave Propagation in Fluid-Saturated Geological Media by the Grid-Characteristic Method
Authors V.I. Golubev, A.V. Shevchenko and I.B. PetrovSummaryNowadays the seismic survey technology is widely used for the oil and gas fields exploration. In connection with the recent discovery of unconventional deposits, the task of improving its methods and approaches is important. Mathematical modeling may allow us to calculate seismic responses from the geological medium with a given structure in the reasonable time. Due to the increase of the computational power of HPC systems, more and more complex mathematical models can be used: acoustic, elastic, averaged fractured, etc. In this paper the process of the seismic wave propagation in fluid-saturated geological media is investigated. The Dorovsky model is used, which takes into account the porosity and other properties of the elastic skeleton and the saturating fluid. The authors expanded the scope of the numerical grid-characteristic method, previously well-proven in problems of seismic wave propagation in acoustic, elastic and fractured media. A two-dimensional formulation of the seismic exploration problem is considered. Formulas for the interior points of the integration domain were obtained, as well as the boundary condition on the “day surface”, in explicit form. Calculations illustrating the differences in the wave fields when using acoustic, elastic and fluid-saturated models for describing geological media were carried out.

Regularities of Distribution of Oil and Gas Deposits by Size of Reserves in Sedimentary Thickness
Authors E.A. Sidorchuk and S.A. DobryninaSummaryThe work is devoted to the estimation of prospects of oil and gas potential and to increasing of efficiency of geological prospecting works in the oldest oil and gas region of the pre-Caucasus. Actual material of approximately 300 deposits was used. The productivity level of deposits includes several stratigraphic complexes. The areas of distribution of oil and gas fields in stratigraphic complexes were mapped. The predominant direction of distribution of oil and gas potential on stratigraphic complexes in each of these areas is given. The distribution of hydrocarbon deposits by depth, stratigraphic complexes and reserves is shown. The regularity of hydrocarbon deposits in more ancient complexes to a greater depth is traced. Along the trend there is a decrease in the level of oil and gas positional. Along the line of trend there is a tendency of decreasing of deposits size in case of predominance of liquid hydrocarbons. The value of reserves along the trend tends to increase in the case of gas predominance. The deposits which by of the size reserves fall on numerical values from the described tendencies are marked. This can be explained by the existence of non-pre-searched or not discovered deposits in the prospective stratigraphic complexes.

SMARTCore an Effective Core Data Processing Instrument
Authors E.V. Stremichev and D.I. ChuprinkoSummaryRapidly gaining popularity, the modern trend of digitalization and automation of work with large data arrays is being introduced in oil companies and research institutes. The huge volume and diverse format of laboratory data on cores complicate the work of specialists in various fields. According to the research, 47% of the working time is spent on technical tasks of the same type when working with core. The developed prototype of the SMARTCore program is aimed at creating a unified relational database for all types of core studies, reducing routine operations at work, automatically creating petrophysical models with automated selection of all empirical coefficients using the differential evolution method. It is thanks to the creation of a unified and related database for all laboratory studies on cores that we can experiment with different combinations of data at lower time costs, which, in our opinion, will allow us to achieve greater accuracy of models given the greater number of factors.

By I. GoginSummaryStratigraphy to Seismic (StS™) is a dynamic approach to integration and interpretation of seismic and stratigraphic data. It provides detailed chronostratigraphic, hiatal, palaeoenvironmental and sediment supply data for seismic interpretation. The detailed biostratigraphic analysis forms the basis of the method. The described method was applied to a multi-well study of the Viking Graben on the Norwegian Shelf. The example shows the application of the method on two wells from the study. The curves are plotted against the seismic profile and the interval for detailed biostratigraphic research is identified. With further study of the chronostratigraphic framework, the well correlation is resolved. The method allows rapid correlation and interpretation of the data.

Experimental Study of the Effect of Ultrasonic Treatment on the Rheological Properties of Oil and Paraffin-Containing Oil
Authors E.A. Marfin, A.I. Kadyirov, Y.V. Karaeva and M.M. GabdukaevSummaryThis paper is devoted to studying the effect of ultrasound on the rheological properties of natural and synthetic oil. Experimental data were obtained using a rheometer Physica MCR 102 and a vibration viscometer SV-10. It has been established that with prolonged ultrasound exposure, the viscosity of the oil increases. It is shown that ultrasound leads to a change in the activation energy of a viscous flow of paraffin-containing oil. Moreover, not only the percentage of paraffin and the duration of treatment, but also the temperature depend on the processing efficiency. The obtained results can be used to improve the regime parameters of the impact on oil during its production, transportation and storage.

A New Approach to the Construction of Seismic Boundaries in the Geological Environment Aaccording to 2D Profile Seismic Data
Authors V.I. Bondarev, S.M. Krylatkov, N.A. Krylatkova and A.N. KrylevskayaSummaryMethods for obtaining seismic images of the geological environment are based on the transfer of numerical characteristics of seismic wave fields determined at a certain time interval to the points of time (x, t0) or deep (x, z) section. However, often the images of seismic boundaries in difficult built environments on time (or deep) sections of CDP-2D, obtained by traditional processing by the method of common mid point, do not objectively reflect the true position of seismic boundaries in the section. A new approach to the definition and use of local angular parameters of reflecting boundaries for the construction of more objective images of seismic boundaries according to the data of profile observations of mogt-2D is considered. It uses information about the angles of inclination of seismic boundaries, previously found on experimental data. The basis of the transfer information from a seismic trace in point of the received image of the environment is the use calculated using the angular settings of the boundaries of the coordinates of the current point of reflection. The possibilities of their subsequent use to obtain a better understanding of the studied geological environments are shown.

Oil Saturation Determination in Horizontal Wells – Capabilities of Two Independent Approaches
Authors D.V. Shtepin, L.N. Urmantseva and A.V. MityaginSummaryComplex approach to oil saturation determination at the offshore oilfield named after Yuri Korchagin located in the north of Caspian Sea is considered in this paper. The field is operated by Lukoil-Nizhnevolzhskneft and actively developed from 2010. Advanced LWD technologies allow to obtain both conventional log data and data that can be used for resistivity independent water saturation estimation. This kind of data becomes valuable in case of shaly reservoir rocks and in case of ambiguous interpretation of free water presence in oil-saturated zones. Besides the standard approach with Dakhnov-Archie equation, 2 independent methods were applied: using formation sigma parameter and nuclear magnetic resonance data. Sigma allows estimate water saturation independently of resistivity values. This parameter was used in reservoir rocks above the oil-water contact and that are characterized by low resistivity values and as a result low oil saturation. NMR data were used to prove two independent calculations. In case of reservoir rocks with high shale content when sigma in shales is comparable to sigma in water NMR T2 distribution data helped to distinguish free water and capillary bound water.

Determination of Small Hydrocarbon Deposits using Prony Decomposition
Authors S.N. Smolin and G.M. MitrofanovSummaryThe search for small hydrocarbon deposits is the a difficult task for seismic exploration. For such reservoirs often there is no connection with the structural factor and they are weak manifested in the dynamic characteristics of the wave field. As a result, many small hydrocarbon deposits can be missed. The developed technology based on the Prony decomposition is a tool for studying the dynamics features of reflected waves at different frequencies. Take into acount that high-frequency oscillations react most acutely to the presence of collectors and the type of fluid, it is possible to identify them. The report provides several examples of relevant analysis. In particular, the reaction of seismic sygnals on the water deposit is demonstrated. It manifests itself at a frequency of 39 Hz, and with increasing frequency, such a reaction decreases to complete disappearance. At the same time, in the presence of oil or gas, there is an increase in the response of reflected signals at frequencies of 47 or 75 Hz, respectively, and its preservation at higher frequencies. The nature of the response of the reflected wave amplitudes is illustrated on figures and tested drilling.

Amazonas – Stochastic Method of Modeling Geological Systems with Arbitrary Distribution of Properties, Including Statistically Unsteady Ones, Based on Non-Parametric Statistics
More LessSummaryThe paper considers the method Amazonas developed by the author, which is based on the use of non-parametric (rank) statistics in a sliding window of a given form. The use of nonparametric (rank) statistics, which makes it possible to model the spatial distributions of both discrete and continuous properties with arbitrary distributions of values, including multimodal, reproduce sharp transitions of properties without the need to build a facies model, provides resistance to clustering, incompleteness and the presence of individual error values in the source data. The ability to set an offset allows to reproduce both smooth and sharp transitions between the values, with a varying degree of variability to extrapolate the possible behavior of the system outside the studied area. The applied mathematical formalism makes it possible to obtain a realistic stochastic model of the simulated environment, directly determined by the initial data, taking into account the heterogeneity existing in it, which can be associated with lithology and other factors, without the need for preliminary expert identification of these laws. The method is suitable for modeling both stationary and non-stationary distributed spatial variables, and allows to take into account the instrumental error and the natural variation of the simulated parameters.

Solving of Automation Aims of Kinematic Data Interpretation with Using New Approaches Illustrated in West-Siberian and the North Sea Shelf Fields
Authors P.A. Avdeev, I.I. Efremov, A.K. Bazanov and R.F. MiftakhovSummaryFaults and horizons correlation is a crucial stage in the cycle of seismic interpretation because it determines the structural framework of the field. Also, it is used as a basis for the subsequent dynamic analysis of the wave field. At the same time, the process of tracking horizons and faults continues to be one of the most labor-intensive stages, requiring a significant amount of time and human resources. Today, the geophysical service has a wide range of technological solutions aimed at automating the process of tracing reflections and fault surfaces. However, each of the proposed technologies has a series of limitations caused by the impossibility of fully automating procedures when working in the complex geological environment, as well as with low-quality seismic material. Thus, oil/gas and service companies invest a lot of effort in the optimization of structural interpretation because it is of paramount importance for the production cycle. The paper presents a new viewpoint to tackle the problem of automated interpretation under mentioned complications.

Authors V.O. Monakhova, N.Y. Natchuk and S.I. PakhomovSummaryAchimov deposits of Urengoy field contains the main gas reserves within considered license block, however they are characterized by a complex geological structure. That’s why it’s especially important purpose to estimate possible uncertainties and risks in the reserves and the forecasted profiles of hydrocarbon production. Uncertainty analysis allows to create of the set of geological model’s realization, considering main risks and allowing to estimate the range of uncertainty and probability of the hydrocarbon reserves by reference to the features of Achimov deposits geological structure. Sequence of work on the uncertainty analysis of geological model includes: creating of the base geological model (form workflow); definition of the base parameters, which bring in uncertainty in the model, and range of their uncertainty; uncertainty analysis of the hydrocarbon reserves to changes in parameters; choosing of the most influential parameters; multiversion calculation. In the result of work range of changes in Achimov deposits gas reserves and range of changes in the main volumetric parameters were justified, besides 300 realizations of geological model were calculated, which can be used as a base for hydrodynamic calculations, for planning of drilling location of projected wells and for making of further research program of reservoir.

The Features of Lithofacies Architecture of Turonian Deposits in West Siberia (The Case Study of Kharampurskoe Field)
More LessSummaryThe report deals with the analysis of Turonian lithofacies structure using the case study of one of the fields of West Siberia. In West Siberia, the Turonian is a prospective target owing to its gas content. At the same time, this type of sediments falls under hard-to-recover reserves. The major challenge in the study and development of such accumulations are their low reservoir properties due to high clay content and near-surface conditions. Lithofacies analysis was based on core studies (of 5 wells). In general, the reservoir is composed of siltstones with various content of clay and sand fractions, intensively bioturbated, with frequently occurring marine fossils. Rock typing was based on core laboratory investigations. The main criteria for classifying the rocks into lithotypes which affect petrophysical properties are the grain size distribution (sand material admixture) and clay cement content. A cyclic sequence has been recognized that consists of four cycles. Each cycle is characterized by regressive nature. It has been found that the cycles in the northern and southern parts of the field have different thickness, which is attributed to several sedimentary material source areas.

Increasing the Reliability of Structural Map-Making in the Areas with Local Velocity Inhomogeneities Resulting from the Neotectonic Processes
Authors T.A. Nesterova, E.S. Matrosova and A.A. MikhailovSummaryLateral variations of the elastic velocities within sedimentary cover in West Siberia are considered to be smooth and slight except in case of the near surface section. Though the experience of the work in some areas of the southern part of West Siberia shows considerable local lateral velocity inhomogeneities in the middle part of section confirmed by the drilling and VSP (vertical seismic profiling) data. These inhomogeneities cannot be recognized when analyzing two-way traveltime to the reflecting boundaries and differences between them obtained from the seismic data. When the area of research is underexplored by drilling that is typical for the search stage, structural imaging is generally based on the seismic information. When using standard techniques of calculation of structural maps it’s impossible to take into account these local lateral velocity inhomogeneities, resulting in discrepancy in 25–30 m between the actual and projected depth of target horizons at further drilling. A simple technique for increasing the reliability of structural map-making is suggested for its further testing.

Geomechanical Modeling Pre-Upper Thrust Belts of Southern Urals
Authors L.I. Minligalieva, V.Y. Kerimov, V.A. Kosyanov and R.N. MustaevSummaryThe article is devoted to the study of a large structural element of the Western Urals - the reverse-thrust belts of the Pre-Ural marginal deflection. The entire Ural cover-fold region represents a giant allochton on the outskirts of the East European Platform. The study of the geological structure of the Urals and the East European Platform showed that the real picture of dislocations includes faults as a mandatory element. The horizontal forces of compression, directed from the Urals, determined the formation of the thrusts and supports and genetically associated anticlinal structures. All plicative forms are subject to thrusts and reflect the subsequent collapse of layered strata occurring under the conditions of lateral compression. In many wells drilled in the Urals, in the sub-thrust sediments, intense oil and gas shows are noted, indicating a possible accumulation of oil and gas deposits here. The result of intensive deep exploration carried out in the trough was the discovery of a large number of hydrocarbon fields. In the course of the work, paleotectonic reconstructions based on geomechanical modeling, numerical spatial-temporal basin modeling were used, which allowed to reveal the structural evolution of the reverse-thrust belts, time and conditions for the formation of traps.

Authors E.A. Lavrenova, V.Y. Kerimov, A.G. Burguto, A.A. Gorbunov and R.N. MustaevSummaryEast Arctic offshore is expected to contain a significant amount of hydrocarbons. Up until now, it is a frontier area with sparse seismic data and lack of exploration wells. So, it is the case to put on analogy to estimate its petroleum potential. Northern Alaska nearest well-studied prolific petroleum province is supposed to be the main counterpart. Comparative analysis of East Arctic sedimentary basins development, including Laptev, East-Siberian, Chukchi shelves as well as North Slope performed under the investigations, which prime objective, is to understand their similarities and differences. Results revealed a high probability of petroleum systems existence in the sediment cover of East Arctic basins. However, despite all expectations, there are no analogs among them. Burial history and thickness of overburden rocks are the key factors of petroleum system maturity and potential.

Scalable Basin Modeling – an Application for Petroleum Exploration
Authors E.A. Lavrenova, V.Y. Kerimov, A.A. Gorbunov and R.N. MustaevSummaryBasin Modeling is a powerful tool for oil and gas exploration. But it is always a non-trivial task to prepare model geometry since seismic interpretation is still an intensive and time-consuming process based on manual picking or auto-tracking of a single horizon. Only the main geologic boundaries one can obtain this way and solve merely regional tasks. Scalable Basin Modeling (SBM) technology overcomes this problem by using Stratigraphic Cube (SC) calculated automatically from seismic. SBM involves the complete set of seismic data and provides a convincing approach to construct sufficient input geometry for modeling. The technology supplies compatible nested models of the Basin, Petroleum System, and Play, based on the single detailed grid of SC. Browse basin case study demonstrates the high effectiveness of SBM under a complicated geologic condition with rapidly shifting depositional systems.

Two-Dimensional Inversion of Russian Electric Logging Signals Measured at Intervals of Complex Sediments
Authors A.M. Petrov, O.V. Nechaev and K.V. SukhorukovaSummaryTwo-dimensional numerical inversion is widely used by leading foreign oilfield services companies to process electrical measurements from intervals of deposits with complex structure. However, the design features of the instruments greatly complicate the use of this approach for processing measurements of Russian electric logging methods. For this reason, now two-dimensional inversion of Russian electric logging measurements is limited to processing small data intervals in scientific researches. We have developed software and technique for a two-dimensional data inversion of high-frequency induction logging sounding (VIKIZ) and Russian lateral logging (BKZ), measured in intervals of thin anisotropic layers interbedding. With use of high-precision numerical two-dimensional simulation, it becomes possible to more accurately estimate the electrophysical parameters of the environment compared with the traditional one-dimensional approach. Software and technique have been tested on a large volume of realistic isotropic and anisotropic models of terrigenous sediments with a complex invasion profile and on the practical data of BKZ and VIKIZ, measured at intervals of Western Siberia terrigenous sediments. The results of testing confirm the applicability of new software for building geoelectric models of complex sediments with evaluation of their vertical resistivity and dielectric permittivity.

Authors S.V. Egorov and E.V. ZubovaSummaryThe paper is dedicated to the possibility of carbonate reservoir properties prediction with the use of results of seismic inversion. Authors propose improved method of seismic inversion which implicates use of results of genetic inversion as trend for rising of low-frequency model accuracy. Also the method supposes signal changing over time. As the result final acoustic impedance cube gets higher quality. Resulted cube was used as trend for reservoir properties modeling goals and final prediction was better than prediction obtained without trend. Method was prepared in the context of one oil field and was in further tested on another field and final results were satisfying too.

Authors A.A. Belaya, E.N. Makhnach, I.I. Ivanova and G.M. TrigubovichSummaryThe report includes a modern approach to the joint 3D-interpretation of the MT and TEM electrical prospecting data with the aim of the research the geological structure of the Lower – Middle Cambrian reef formations near the location of the parametric borehole Viliuykanskaya 1 (eastern side of the Kureiskaya syneclise on the Siberian platform). Also, a set of methods included monitoring studies using seismic emission methods, complex aerogeophysical research, and reinterpretation of seismic data. As a result, the prediction of the development of organogenic structures was made, their internal structure was explored and the quality of the shielding properties overlapping the structures of the clay-carbonate sediments of the Verkholenskaya suite was evaluated. Most of the seismic emission anomalies are confined to the boundaries of the proposed structures, where there is probably an increased migration of fluids and gases.

More LessSummaryDelineation of lithologic traps methodology in the bottom of the subcycle AC12 has been considered on the example Priobskoye field. The job has been done based on 3D seismic and geological model. There has been used log interpretation while complexing. The analysis of the reflector Hah (the top of Akhskaya formation) has been done. As a result, the area has been divided into 4 parts by quality of reflector. In the zone of articulation of two such sites, the erosions zone has been detected. This zone is controlled by a deep fault. The discovered erosions form lithological traps, which are isolated from the deposits of overlying objects.

The Ability to Assess Data Processing 3D Seismic Acquisition using VSP
Authors V.A. Lensky, A.S. Zhuzhel and F.S. SalichovaSummaryIn recent years, attention has been focused on the use of vertical seismic profiling (VSP) in the processing and interpretation of 2D/3D surface seismic data. One of the tasks is to assess the quality of data processing. Traditionally, the evaluation of the quality of processing, binding, reflection, and phase shift in seismic acquisition 2D/3D are performed by comparison with synthetic traces calculated with the momentum extracted from the CDP data. Such estimation may not correspond to reality, especially when using synthetic data of acoustic and density logging. The solution to these problems with the use of VSP provides a more accurate result.

Reservoir Parameters Prediction Using Seismic Waveforms Based on Neural Network
Authors I.I. Priezzhev, A.A. Polyakov, I.A. Murzov, S.S. Gavrilov and E.E. SapogovaSummaryQuantitative prediction of effective reservoir parameters by a set of seismic attributes is an important step in the interpretation of seismic data, and the construction of maps of effective thicknesses is one of the main results of such work and serves as the basis for the laying of new wells in the operation of oil and gas fields. Typically, these constructions are performed based on linear regressions obtained in the process of attribute analysis based on the data of effective thicknesses of previously drilled wells and the selected set of seismic attribute maps. It is known that such an analysis is a rather complex operation and it is easy to obtain an unreliable forecast in complex geological conditions using the wrong set of attributes. Another very common technique is the use of the seismic waveform for seismic facies analysis. Such analysis is usually performed based on unsupervised classification algorithms. It is proposed to use seismic waveform for quantitative forecasting based on neural networks.
