IMPROVING SEISMIC RESOLUTION USING ATTRIBUTES FOR SEISMIC

INTEPRETATION IN DEEPWATER AND ULTRADEEPWATER ENVIROMENTS.

Speaker geologist Jorge Orejarena
SUMMARY:
Through Chapter of the AAPG young professionals, it seeks to raise awareness on
issues interest with respect to the exploration and production of natural resources
extracted from subsoil. The conference topics of interest will be treated in the
geological and geophysical framework. The conference is aimed at enthusiasts
issue in which national issues were addressed and international and provide
attendees with general ideas about procedures and management geophysical
technologies currently used in the E & P.
INTRODUCTION:
In Colombia in 2015 it was carried out successfully exploring where verified the
presence of hydrocarbons in well Kronos-1-3720 meters deep. The finding is of great
importance for exploration off the coast in Colombia, when testing high prospectivity
a new oil province in the southern Caribbean ultra-deepwater southern sector
Colombian Caribbean. According to the report of the operator, after passing through
a sheet of water 1,584 meters, the well reached the target to 3,720 meters below the
level middle of the sea, where a net gas sand interval of 40 was found 70 meters
(130-230 feet), whose technical parameters are being evaluated by integrated teams
Anadarko and Ecopetrol.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:
The tools used in seismic reflection help us interpret accurately geometry and
composition of the subsoil. Through acoustic impedance contrasts, you can narrow
the reflectors, which indicate the ideal conditions in which stored hydrocarbons.
Reservoirs given to its geological conditions present challenges in the interpretation
of seismic data for this geologists and geophysicists, attributes used for better
lighting reflectors interest. In this way seismic attributes have been indispensable for
identifying prospects economically profitable for operators. In Colombia they are
making efforts to explore deepwater regions are generally considered more than
500m (1640.42 feet) or in regions ultradeep waters as it is the case that He
mentioned at the beginning of the well Kronos-1 that is located in the area of ultra
regions whose depth exceeds 1500 meters (4921.26 feet). For these regions it is
indispensable use of seismic attributes that allow the interpreter to accurately locate
potential prospects. The conference discussed briefly the various attributes more
importance, which indicate that these algorithms work through, which I They allow
sing previous models to predict the behavior of the P / S wave way correctly
identifying the types of lithologies present in the subsurface.
