1 Pitfalls in Rock Properties and Lithology Prediction in Dolomite
John Logel Anadarko Canada Corp

2 Objective To demonstrate that subtle but powerful seismic phenomenon can substantially harm your seismic data and your interpretation TLC processing and “new” algorithms may not be enough to help Quality control, detailed investigation of data, and proper prospecting and risk are critical.

28 Logs Elastic Modeling Comparison Elastic Model 90 degrees Elastic

29 Q (attenuation) “Q” is the attenuation of frequency and the changes in phase because of it. Shales or other “soft” material are most Q prone Laminated material are also very Q prone If it can be determined it can be corrected (difficult)

35 Questions about Multiples????
Shouldn’t they be adequately attenuated? Aren’t they too low of amplitude to worry about? Aren’t they “constant”? Shouldn’t you be able to differentiate Multiples from reservoir by a different AVO response? Doesn’t the stack take care of it?

52 Conclusions Higher order Interbed multiples can mask potential reservoir properties and create false anomolies. Application of “blind” transform de-multiple can be dangerous – Must be QCed. “Q” can hinder the interpretation and should be considered. Correction for multiples and Q can help high grade prospect risk and improve success rate.
