Paper Summary
PGS has recently acquired and processed an innovative multi-azimuth multisensor survey in the proli fic South Viking Graben, Norway. The dataset delivers reliable attributes for accurate reservoir characterization. This area has provided numerous successes in multiple plays over the past decade and more recently the focus is on potential near-field opportunities. This quantitative interpretation project examines the various Tertiary to Permian reservoir levels using GeoStreamer X data combined with many wells present in and around the area of interest. For the latter, an interactive rock physics modeling product (PGS rockAVO) has been used, enabling a rapid assessment of the elastic property variation as well as the prestack seismic response to changes in reservoir properties (such as, porosity, saturation and volume of clay). By integrating this new dataset with regional well information, many of the exploration and near-field exploration challenges can be addressed. The evaluation of reservoirs and trapping styles of existing fields and discoveries is now possible with this unique dataset and additional opportunities can be revealed.
