Abstract
The success of an exploration or development project hinges on a knowledge of the subsurface. This is true whether we are locating an exploration well, or planning the development of a discovered field. Three-dimcnsional (3D) seismic surveys have proved to be powerful tools for imaging the subsurface. Since their introduetion in the mid- 1970s, 3D seismic surveys have provided data that have been shown to be significantly superior to 20 seismic data, both for structural imaging and for detailed characterization of reservoir-rock properties and porefluid content.
