| ABSTRACT
The Saudi Arabian Oil Company
has reduced development drilling costs and increased oil reserves by  selecting
well locations using 3-D seismic data in the Ghinah and Umm Jurf Fields,
Central Saudi Arabia. 3-D seismic data provide more accurate structural
interpretation of strike-slip structures, and more important, provide stratigraphic
predictability within a heterogeneous braided stream reservoir. The success
rate for wells with high flow rates (>2000 BOPD) has increased from 43%
to over 90% since 3-D seismic data have been used to locate development
wells. In addition, the cumulative reserves of the two fields have increased
400%.
