Abstract
Abstract: New AVO Classification to Develop High-Quality
Prospects in the Gulf Coast
By
eSeis, Inc.
A new classification for AVO (
amplitude
versus offset) is
proposed that considers all clastic reservoirs regardless of
the polarity of impedance contrast with the overlying shale or its
change with increasing offset
. The new classification includes ten
classes of AVO types.
Examples from the Gulf Coast illustrate the application of this approach in exploration for pressured Wilcox objectives: typical, type II and less-common, type III AVO responses can be productive. Other examples include a classic “AVO-flip” where pressured, brine-filled sand has a negative AVO response and the gas-filled case has a positive AVO response.
