Sizeable 3D seismic surveys over buried thrust fronts provide the start of a full 3D work process that greatly improves the exploration and production efforts of multiple plays in complex geologic trends and maximizes their profitability. This full 3-D platform not only improves seismic imaging and interpretation, but allows continuous 3-D analysis of the projects; from structural modeling and mapping, to cost reduction efforts for well and development programs; to stratigraphic, structural and fracture modeling input for full field simulation and in fill drilling.
YPF/Maxus and its partners have
achieved a full 3-D image of a buried thrust
front in one of the most prolific hydrocarbon-
bearing trends in the world with two
merged 3-D seismic surveys totaling 550
km2 of surface coverage. This 3-D volume
covers the series of stacked thrust sheets
that form the eastward continuation of the
Furrial field complex in the Eastern
Venezuela basin. These data and the interpretive
products were performed as a part
of our technological commitment to
Lagoven in the service contract of the
Quiriquire block
, awarded to Maxus in the
1993 Venezuela second marginal field
bid round.
