Paper Summary

This paper will focus on the reservoir characterization / quantitative seismic interpretation of a recently acquired and processed multi-azimuth multi-sensor survey in the prolific South Viking Graben, Norway. This area has delivered a number of significant successes in multiple plays over the past decade. The study emphasizes application of multi-azimuth derived elastic attributes from various stratigraphic intervals ranging from the Tertiary down to the Permian reservoirs. This case study will highlight how this new dataset integrated with regional well information has overcome some of the exploration and near-field exploration challenges. Very promising results were delivered in terms of the evaluation of reservoirs and trapping styles of existing fields and discoveries as well as mapping of additional opportunities.
