“…Since the early ideas proposed by Crampin 13 et al about the use of pre-stack seismic data to detect fractures, many teams [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] have exerted significant efforts to find practical ways to accomplish this. Unfortunately, this area turned out to be a very challenging scientific domain where the solutions seem to be very complex.…”

“…Many of the simplifying assumptions made in the area of fracture detection using azimuthal analysis are not currently needed as extensive work [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] have improved seismic anisotropy analysis techniques, and fracture "imaging" is possible today without using the common simplifying assumptions. Unfortunately, most of the current providers of this technology are using the simplifying assumptions.…”

AbstractNaturally Fractured Reservoir (NFR) characterization represents an increased focus for oil and gas companies as it becomes more and more admitted that they represent a substantial part of their portfolio. However the complexity of the understanding of fractured reservoirs, in terms of fracturing mechanism, fracture density, orientation, and the complexity of their management issues (i.e. infill drilling, water production, steam injection, to list few of these issues) pushed several service and integrated companies to tackle the fractured reservoir characterization challenge. Moreover the use of integrated approaches with the help of 3D seismic and new technologies are started to show successful results. This paper will present two technologies where 3D seismic attributes along with geologic and engineering data are being used to characterize fractured reservoirs. The first technology will show how the use of post-stack seismic in an integrated approach, involving high resolution seismic inversion, spectral imaging and static geological modeling, provides an accurate fracture reservoir model that can be applied in the reservoir simulation and development stage. The second technology will highlight the use of pre-stack seismic to actually image the fracture distribution. Application of these technologies is presented on two different fields.

TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractGiven the importance of fractured reservoirs in the world, and the ever-increasing availability of 3D seismic data, this paper reviews existing fracture modeling approaches that use 3D seismic data. Two major approaches appear to provide efficient ways to use directly and effectively 3D seismic data. The first approach uses mostly post-stack data in an integrated computational framework where 3D seismic attributes are used along with other geologic and geomechanical information to provide reliable 3D fracture models. The second approach relies on the use of pre-stack seismic data along with other geologic and production information to provide an accurate description of the fracture density and orientation. Although these technologies are well proven and have been tested in many basins, they remain underutilized by most oil and gas companies, with the exception of a few companies that have been using them extensively to drill very successful wells.
