This document describes reservoir characterization and advanced seismic interpretation services offered by PetroExplorers, including:
1) Rock physics analysis, synthetic modeling, seismic inversion, and AVO/LMR analysis to characterize lithology and fluid properties.
2) Sequence stratigraphic interpretation, seismic facies analysis, and spectral decomposition to analyze depositional environments.
3) Fault and fracture analysis using techniques like dip steering, curvature, and AVAZ/VVAZ to characterize fracturing.

AVAZ - FRACTURE DENSITY AND ORIENTATION
Fracture Density and Orientation derived from AVAZ Gradient residuals can be shown by glyphs. Input from
VVAZ can also be combined with the results.
