The document discusses using 3D seismic attributes for reservoir characterization. It provides an overview of seismic reflection methods and defines seismic attributes as any measurement derived from seismic data. Common types of attributes are described including time, complex trace, window, Fourier and multi-trace attributes. The document gives examples of attributes like envelope, phase, frequency and coherence that can provide information on lithology, thickness, faults and fractures. Methods of interpreting attribute data from 3D volumes are outlined. The document concludes by providing examples of how attributes can be used for reservoir characterization tasks like fault interpretation and porosity estimation.

Abstract
The Montserrat and Sant Llorenç del Munt fan-delta complexes were developed during the Eocene in the Ebro basin. The depositional stratigraphic record of these fan deltas has been described as a made up by a several transgressive and regressive composite sequences each made up by several fundamental sequences. Each sequence set is in turn composed by five main facies belts: proximal alluvial fan, distal alluvial fan, delta front, carbonates platforms and prodelta.
Using outcrop data from three composite sequences (Sant Vicenç, Vilomara and Manresa), a 3D facies model was built. The key sequential traces of the studied area georeferenced and digitalized on to photorealistic terrain models, were the hard data used as input to reconstruct the main surfaces, which are separating transgressive and regressive stacking patterns. Regarding the facies modelling has been achieved using a geostatistical algorithm in order to define the stacking trend and the interfingerings of adjacent facies belts, and five paleogeographyc maps to reproduce the paleogeometry of the facies belts within each system tract.
The final model has been checked, using a real cross section, and analysed in order to obtain information about the Delta Front facies which are the ones susceptible to be analogous of a reservoir. Attending to the results including eight probability maps of occurrence, the transgressive sequence set of Vilomara is the greatest accumulation of these facies explained by its agradational component.

Quantitative and qualitative seismic attributes interpretationmohamed Shihata
Seismic attribute is the only way that can enable interpreter to understand seismic data very well and generate new view for his model, but there are hundreds of seismic attributes and there are many classes that make interpreters afraid of using new thing so in this course explain both theoretical and application for each one and try to generate workflow to help interpretation for different geological environment.
In this course, we will gain an intuitive understanding of the kinds of seismic features that can be identified by 3-D seismic attributes, the sensitivity of seismic attributes to seismic acquisition and processing, and of how ‘independent’ seismic attributes can are coupled through geology. We will also discuss alternative workflows using seismic attributes for reservoir characterization as implemented by modern commercial software and practiced by interpretation service companies. Participants are invited to bring case studies from their workplace that demonstrates either the success or failure ofseismic attributes to stimulate class discussion.
Seismic interpretation is a critical step in evaluating the subsurface, as it turns the large investments in seismic data to tangible value to base all E&P decisions. It is essential for explorationists to learn to execute this key skill in their career.
Fault Enhancement Using Spectrally Based Seismic Attributes -- Dewett and Hen...Dustin Dewett
Fault interpretation in seismic data is a critical task that must be completed to thoroughly understand the structural history of the subsurface. The development of similarity-based attributes has allowed geoscientists to effectively filter a seismic data set to highlight discontinuities that are often associated with fault systems. Furthermore, there are numerous workflows that provide, to varying degrees, the ability to enhance this seismic attribute family. We have developed a new method, spectral similarity, to improve the similarity enhancement by integrating spectral decomposition, swarm intelligence, magnitude filtering, and orientated smoothing. In addition, the spectral similarity method has the ability to take any seismic attribute (e.g., similarity, curvature, total energy, coherent energy gradient, reflector rotation, etc.), combine it with the benefits of spectral decomposition, and create an accurate enhancement to similarity attributes. The final result is an increase in the quality of the similarity enhancement over previously used methods, and it can be computed entirely in commercial software packages. Specifically, the spectral similarity method provides a more realistic fault dip, reduction of noise, and removal of the discontinuous “stair-step” pattern common to similarity volumes.

3D oil reservoir model uncertainty: model-derived uncertainty or uncertainty ...Geovariances
Find out more about the importance of the model uncertainty quantification according to the reservoir study stage.
The presentation highlights the difference between the uncertainty quantification and the capacity of prediction of a model. Model uncertainty is due to various factors such as the lack of precise data, the use of imprecise data or the impossibility to conceive with certainty a conceptual model. Some of the factors can be accounted for (known source of uncertainty) and therefore be captured in a model, leading to classical uncertainty quantification. Other factors cannot be accounted for (unknown source of uncertainty), therefore limiting the capacity of prediction of the model.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

5. Seismic Applications in Petroleum Exploration
Structural analysis (1920s onward)
• study of reflector geometry
• used to identify faults and
locally high parts of formations
Seismic sequence stratigraphy (1970s onward)
• study of reflection sequences
• used to locate stratigraphic
traps and define the facies
framework of structural traps
deBruin et al. (2007)
Seismic attribute analysis (1970s onward)
• study of seismic attributes
• provides information related to structure,
stratigraphy, and reservoir properties
6. What are Seismic Attributes?
Any measurement derived from the
seismic data is a seismic attribute.
Seismic attributes typically provide
information relating to the amplitude,
shape, and/or position of the seismic
waveform.
Seismic attributes reveal features,
relationships, and patterns in the
seismic data that otherwise might not
be noticed.
7. General classes of attributes
1-D attributes - operate on a single stacked
seismic trace
2-D and 3-D attributes - calculated using
information from adjacent traces
8. Families of Seismic Attributes
Time Attributes (1930s) – related to the vertical position
of the waveform in the seismic section (e.g., horizon
time picks, isochrons)
Complex Trace Attributes q(t)
(1970s) – The seismic data
is treated as an analytic trace, A(t)
θ(t)
which contains both real and
r(t)
imaginary parts. Various
amplitude, phase, and
frequency attributes can be Taner et al. (1989)
calculated. Envelope: A(t) = [q2(t)+r2(t)]1/2
Instantaneous Phase: θ(t) = tan-1[q(t)/r(t)]
Instantaneous Frequency: ω(t)=dθ(t)/dt
9. Families of Seismic Attributes
Window Attributes (1980s) – attributes which summarize
information from a vertical window of data.
Fourier Attributes (1990s) – frequency
domain attributes obtained through
Fourier analysis (e.g., spectral
decomposition)
Multi-trace Attributes (1990s) - attributes calculated
using more than one input seismic trace, which provide
quantitative information about lateral variations in the
seismic data (e.g., coherence, dip/azimuth, volumetric
curvature)
12. Spectral Decomposition

F1
The amplitude spectrum is
tuned by the geologic units
within the analysis window,
F2
so that units with different
rock properties and/or
thickness will exhibit different
amplitude responses. black = low amplitude
white = high amplitude
13. Seismic Coherence
A measure of the trace-to-trace similarity of the seismic
waveform within a small analysis window
3D Seismic Volume
fault = low coherence
For each point in a 3D seismic volume, compare the waveform
of adjacent traces (e.g., red trace compared to blue traces)
over a short vertical window
fault = low coherence
Coherence Cube
black = low coherence
white = high coherence
14. Volumetric Curvature
Curvature describes how bent a surface is at a
particular point and is closely related to the second
derivative of the curve defining the surface.

Sigismondi and Soldo, 2003
Volumetric curvature is computed for every point
within a 3-D seismic volume.
15. What physical information is
provided by seismic attributes?
Envelope- presence of gas (bright spots),
thin-bed tuning effects, lithology changes
Phase – lateral continuity of reflectors,
bedding configurations
Frequency – bed thickness, presence of
hydrocarbons, fracture zones
Spectral Decomposition – bed thickness
Coherence, Volumetric Curvature – faults,
fractures, lateral stratigraphic
discontinuities
16. Methods of interpreting attributes
from 3-D seismic volumes
Identify spatial patterns/trends in attribute data
– Cross-sectional view
– Map view (attributes extracted along horizon or from
zone of interest)
– 3D visualization
Tie attributes to well control using statistical
methods (e.g., crossplots)
Automatically analyze multiple attributes (with or
without well control)
– Geostatistics
– Principal component analysis
– Cluster analysis
– Texture analysis

NE-trending curvature lineaments appear to

shale-filled fractures.
NW-trending curvature lineaments appear to
represent open fractures, which serve as
conduits into the underlying aquifer.
Understanding the orientations of open and
filled fractures is an important pre-requisite
for effective reservoir management.
46. General conclusions about attributes
Attributes reveal information which is not readily
apparent in the raw seismic data
Dozens of seismic attributes can be calculated,
some of which are more useful than others
Attributes may be interpreted singly or using
multi-attribute analysis tools
Different attributes reflect different physical
properties of the underlying rock system
Attributes can aid in improving our
understanding of the reservoir
The specific attributes to use in a reservoir
characterization study will vary, depending on the
type of reservoir and the problem being
addressed
