Workshop - Seismic Amplitudes - 14 januari 2010

In the Dutch subsurface seismic amplitudes have been studied for over 30 years. Despite the use of 3D data and improved subsurface imaging techniques, up till recently the use of amplitude information failed to provide a significant contribution in raising the number of gas finds in the Netherlands. Especially for deeper formations like the Bunter and in particular the sub-salt Rotliegend, amplitude characterization was not without poorly understood failures. Only rarely did these studies prove decisive in delineating fields or de-risking exploration prospects.
