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.
