We describe a case study to extract meaningful geological information from a modern high-fold seismic dataset in the north-east Delaware basin. The target of the study is the heterogeneous geology of the Bone Spring and Wolfcamp Formations.
A database of well data was used to understand the variation in elastic properties in terms of geological changes that include: mineralogy, organic content and the likely onset of over-pressure. The well data were also used to calibrate seismic amplitudes prior to performing a Bayesian pre-stack inversion to solve for estimates of facies and impedances.
In this webinar, we will discuss the results that will provide insights into the regional stratigraphic deposition and evolution of the formations, including mapping of discontinuous carbonate and high TOC intervals. The property volumes are the starting point for future predictive geological, formation-pressure and stress models for informing optimal resource exploitation within the study area.
