ABSTRACT:
3D seismic classification is a breakthrough technology to determine the three-dimensional distribution of pore fluid, lithology, and faults/fractures from multiple seismic attribute volumes. This method provides an innovative, timesaving solution for identification and definition of drilling targets, especially in areas with multiple pay zones and complex geology.
