Abstract

Summary

The Ivory discovery lies within the Nyk High, located in the north-eastern part of the Vøring Basin, which has been tectonically active in several phases. The main challenge in mapping the extent of the Ivory discovery has been seismic imaging at the crest of structures bound by major faults (e.g. fault shadow effects), together with depth conversion uncertainty and a poor well to seismic tie. To address the uncertainties associated with these issues, a new Pre-Stack Depth Migration was run using a dataset re-processed with the latest demultiple and deghosting technology. From this final migrated volume, structural uncertainty was then estimated using a Bayesian statistical analysis of the tomographic resolution matrices in conjunction with prior uncertainty estimates.
