Abstract Study of a regional three-dimensional seismic data set by Cumella and Ostby (2003) indicated the potential existence of wrench faults in the southern Piceance Basin, Colorado. Although the faults could be inferred to cut through the productive interval, no direct observation was possible until the Reservoir Characterization Project (RCP) conducted a multicomponent seismic study at Rulison Field. This study confirms the existence of faults and coduments their importance in creating fracture zones critical to higher expected ultimate recovery (EUR) well production within the field. Three-dimensional seismic data were acquired at Rulison Field by RCP to investigate whether zones of high fracture density within the Mesaverde reservoir interval could be detected. Three time-lapse, multicomponent seismic surveys were acquired in 2003, 2004, and 2006. The study confirmed the existence of wrench faults, documented zones of high fracture density, and observed pressure depletion within these zones. Wrench faults and fracture zones play an important role in the creation of “sweet spots” associated with wells of high EUR. Sweet spot identification with multicomponent seismic data can improve the economics of tight gas exploration and production.

Utilizing 3-D, 3-C Seismology for Reservoir Property Characterization at Joffre Field, Alberta, Canada
Abstract A 3-D, three-component (3-D, 3-C) seismic survey was collected over the northeastern limit of Joffre Field, Alberta, for the purpose of detecting porosity within two complex Upper Devonian carbonate reservoirs, Nisku and Leduc. The survey demonstrates the robust nature and power of 3D, 3-C seismic technology to determine not only porosity, but also permeability. As a result, by integrating results from this new seismic technology with geologic and reservoir production data into a reservoir model, new field extension and field redevelopment targets are identified, and improved reservoir exploitation can be achieved.
