The different approaches in seismic stratigraphy interpretation

Abstract

This paper presents two basic approaches in seismic stratigraphy interpretation. The first one as starting point have seismic sections, whose interpretation in the later stage correlates with well data. The second one in initial phase analyze the data obtain by deep well drilling which are later correlated with the seismic sections. The chronological order and seismic stratigraphy procedure are explained for both approaches. Those interpretation approaches enabled oil companies a detailed and more precise insight into geological features, reduction of exploration risk and more rational design of development wells.
