f Capacity estimation in carbonate traps using structural and formational approach - An example

Most problems arising in seismic exploration of hydrocarbons are of a geological nature. One would think this fact must predetermine the whole circle of practical actions of geophysicists and its sequence. So, the first action is to formulate the geological task precisely. From it one should pass to the geological model of the section. Then, to generalized seismic models and to the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of wavefields. Then, to field seismic technique, data registration and processing, leading to the required characteristics. But owing to insufficient a priori information at each step the whole process cannot be realized in practice uniquely. Nevertheless, this sequence of operations seems valid.
