present a geophysical reservoir characterization workflow that seeks to integrate elastic and electric attributes derived from inversion of seismic and CSEM data.
The four offshore basins of Namibia are highly underexplored despite one of these basins containing the large undeveloped Kudu gas field. Substantial discoveries elsewhere on both sides of the South Atlantic conjugate margin have brought new focus on the potential of the entire West African margin. With billion barrel fields in neighbouring Angola to the north, attention has turned to the relatively neglected potential of the Namibian offshore basins. Following basin reconnaissance using sparse 2D seismic grids, 3D seismic data is being acquired over many of the most attractive blocks awarded in Namibia. This study describes the results of a fast-tracked integrated project delivering a dual-sensor 3D broadband seismic and seismic attribute analysis to provide increased understanding of petroleum systems and risk elements, prospective resource volumes and highgrading and de-risking drilling targets.
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.
