Generalized Geological & Seismic Work Flow

- Wednesday, August 19, 2015
  • Correlate well logs (pick well tops, markers, unconformities, faults, etc.)
  • Produce subsurface mapping for various relevant sands, markers, horizons and fault plane maps including dipmeter logs, etc. 
  • Quality check the seismic data set(s) 
  • Acquire 2-D/3-D data set(s) 
  • Create the project in Kingdom software (or other software group) 
  • Load all 3-D data set .SGY processing versions into Kingdom software (preferably each processing version can be loaded into a uniquely named “data type”) 
  • Generate time slice volumes for all processing versions (except gathers) 
  • Locate, input and apply velocity functions where applicable 
  • Locate and load culture data (sections/townships, wells, highways/roads, air photos, etc.) 
  • Check/confirm selected well spotting & directional well paths (verify directional surveys), etc. 
  • Input/import well log ground elevations and rig derrick floor heights 
  • Input/import well log tops, fault cuts, production and perforation data, etc. 
  • Load selected raster and digital well log images as needed 
  • Interpret seismic data, pick horizons, faulting, unconformities, etc. 
  • Scroll through time slice volumes in search of fault patterns, structures, etc. 
  • Perform synthetic work to determine vertical tie, phase of data, observe frequency distribution, etc. 
  • Generate and apply hybrid velocity functions where necessary 
  • Produce time structure and other maps 
  • Cross reference 3-D seismic time maps with subsurface mapping 
  • Identify & delineate drilling and/or re-completion opportunities, etc.
