2 Now, carbonates are very important to Brazil !!!
Motivation Now, carbonates are very important to Brazil !!! Seismic attributes applied to carbonate reservoirs examples: Masaferro et al. (2004) state that the combined effects of variation in depositional facies and diagenetic alteration play a key role in controlling variations in sonic velocities and thus is acoustic impedance in carbonate systems. Pearson and Hart (2004) showed that spectral components can be used in carbonate reservoir characterization. Specifically, they predicted the porosity of a carbonate reservoir from a linear combination of the slope from peak to maximum spectral frequency and the ratio of the number of positive samples over the number of negative samples within a time interval. Chopra and Marfurt (2007) show how the shape or geomorphology of reflection patterns, coupled with appropriate models deposition and diagenesis, further aid the mapping of carbonate facies. Thus, both geometric (measuring lateral changes) and trace shape (measuring vertical seismic waveform) seismic attributes can be a great aid in the characterization of carbonate reservoirs.

3 Objectives To show how the seismic density energy can be related to the Wavelet Transform Teager-Kaiser Energy To show that this nonlinear energy-tracking algorithm allows us to differentiate high amplitude reservoir from other high amplitude reflections To show how we applied this technique to a Brazilian carbonate reservoir

26 Conclusions We show that the Teager-Kaiser energy can be computed for seismic data through the joint time-frequency representation. The TK energy appears to be quite effective in delineating strong amplitude, high frequency events associated with a producing areas of a carbonate reservoir. The results obtained with real seismic data show the WaveTeKE potential use as an exploratory tool to detect energy associated with important geological marks and potential exploratory leads.
