Reservoir properties estimation from marine broadband seismic without a-priori well information: A powerful de-risking workflow

This paper presents a case study demonstrating the value of high fidelity pre-stack broadband seismic data for improved target delineation, estimation of reservoir properties and ultimately de-risking of a prospect or well positioning. Without using well data as input, predictions of reservoir properties from pre-stack seismic elastic attributes are made which prove to be robust and reliable when compared to log measurements from un-used ('blind') wells.
