Title: Deltaic Facies Recognition on Previous HitSeismicNext Hit Data: ABSTRACT

Author(s): R. Reynaud, P. R. Louis, J. Lacaze

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

Previous HitSeismicNext Hit sections relating to shelf facies generally display parallel or slightly divergent reflections. An analysis of internal parameters (such as continuity amplitude, frequency, and phase), areal associations, and external geometry of each unit allows a direct prediction of the nature of the deposits.

In the Niger delta, diagnostic Previous HitseismicNext Hit facies relate to each environment (marine, littoral marine, littoral, sea marginal, and fluvial). These Previous HitseismicNext Hit facies are also closely related to the electrofacies. Previous HitSeismicTop models have been computed for several types of environment and comparison to the real section supports the interpretation.
