High-resolution sequence stratigraphic interpretation of
seismic and well-log data can provide a client with the detailed
geometry and stratigraphic information necessary to the identification
of reservoirs and compartments. Interpreting 3-D seismic data
helps companies more effectively high-grade prospects in frontier
exploration areas and reduce risk in field development. We
utilize methodologies pioneered by Exxon for seismic stratigraphic
interpretation of sequences and systems tracts. We also interpret
stratal geometry and seismic facies as a means of identifying
depositional systems. Detailed stratigraphic evaluation of
three-dimensional (3-D) seismic volumes is possible where
the seismic data are calibrated with well-log and core data.
Examination of 3-D seismic horizon slices and interval attributes
are some of the visualization tools used to interpret seismic
geomorphology.
With respect to well-log sequence stratigraphic interpretation,
we follow the concepts of sediment volumetric partitioning,
facies differentiation and base-level controls on sediment
production/accumulation and accommodation. Application of
these concepts to the sequence stratigraphic analysis of cores
and well logs can be a powerful tool for establishing the
3-dimensional distribution of facies, stratal units and hiatal
surfaces. We follow the correlation methodology of Tim Cross,
formerly of Colorado School of Mines, which proposes correlating
“rocks to rocks, rocks to surfaces and surfaces to surfaces.”
Strata-Search, LLC is equipped with Recon, a revolutionary
software application for 3-D geological interpretation of
well-log data. This software, developed by AGM, Inc. is a
next-generation program that accelerates log interpretation
by allowing the geoscientist to work simultaneously in 2-d
and 3-D and to instantaneously generate structural, isochore,
and log property maps in 3-D.
