Abstract: 3-D Seismic Volume of a Buried Thrust
Front, Foredeep to Emergent Thrust
Sheets, Quiriquire Block Improved
Exploration and Production, Eastern
Venezuela Basin
By
Maxus, Dallas, TX
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.
