Rock physics modeling applied to quantitative evaluation of shallow gas potential of Plio‐Peistocene foreland basin, southwestern Taiwan

The biogenic gas potential of the submarine canyon systems of Plio-Peistocene foreland Basin, southwestern Taiwan

“…Logs of the YK-1 well such as P-sonic, S-sonic, density, V shale, porosity and water saturation, were integrated in this study to perform rock physics modeling and fluid substitution (Mavko et al, 1998;Xu and White, 1995;Fuh et al, 2008). AVO modeling based on Knott-Zoeppritz equation (Zoeppritz, 1919) was then applied to the modeled logs, of which the target sand water saturation was replaced from 10 to 90% at an increment of 10%.…”
