We present the results of a joint interpretation of both 3D seismic and 3D CSEM data from a prospect in the Perdido fold belt (deep offshore Gulf of Mexico). The study began after the first exploration well was drilled over the structure, confirming the presence of oil in two Early Eocene intervals. The integrated methodology tailored for the study has resulted in (1) a better understanding of the sensitivity of the CSEM data, (2) discrimination between lithology and fluid effects and finally (3) an update of the oil volume estimated over the structure.
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.
