Combining seismic waves of different classes in exploration of hydrocarbon fields (new seismic exploration methodology)
In the paper problems of improving the production efficiency of seismic exploration at oil and gas fields are considered. The way of this problem solution is demonstrated – it is based on the use of the different seismic waves classes: reflected, scattered, and microseismic emission waves. Combining CDP, SLEC (Seismic Location of Emission Centers) and SVSL (Side-View Seismic Location) and the use of these waves can provide independent and the most reliable information about the oilfield: traps, heterogeneity and uneven fluid saturation, distribution of open fractures in the reservoir and etc. This seismic methodology can significantly improve the main indicator of the efficiency of geological exploration – the successful results of exploration wells drilling, the location of which is determined by the results of combining the seismic surveys. The examples of this methodology application are demonstrated.
