Within a field evaluation, seismic events, such as flat spots, amplitude anomalies, or other seismic-derived attributes are often used in the interpretation process. When these seismic events are demonstrated to be robust enough, consistent with well data and the geologic scenario, they can be qualified as direct hydrocarbon indicators (DHI) and used as key elements to assess fluid contacts, reservoir extension, and compartmentalization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
