Seismic Reflection method in hydrocarbon reservoirs identification; 2D, 3D multi-component seismic data interpretation to enhance exploration result and its application in the Anza basin in Kenya
Abstract
In the interpretation of the high resolution seismic data from the F3 block of the North sea was
used to evaluate the ability of improved data interpretation of seismic data of both 3D and 2D
data would be of importance in the hydrocarbon identification and reservoir identification in the
Anza Graben.
Based on literature reviews of the use of seismic data from different places where they have been
used successfully data processing was inferred and the raw data analyzed and interpreted with
the results showing interpretation and detection of faults, stratigraphic interpretation, and
prediction of porosity layer depth. These correlated to the geo-tectothermal setting characteristics
of the Anza basin subtle hydrocarbon plays are interpreted.
From the results attested from the interpreted data the geological setting of this basin
identification of oil and gas play in this region would be achieved using the various processing
and interpretation ways discussed in this project as it will help in well placements and reduction
the no of dry holes that have been witnessed in the past, also greatly reduce exploration time on
successful prediction on well interpreted data set that has been properly acquired.
