Course 6: Analyzing AVO/AVA Analysis
Use gassman’s equations to predict velocity Objective accurately predict changes in amplitude
Open well (your fluid sub well)> save to another name : file > Save As
Display logs in time : View > Time Model (also make sure view depth mode is set to ft below KB)
Zoom all
If you don’t have a check shot survey you can use an estimate of the near surface velocity 9KB elevation of working floor of the derrik. Time shift is calculated relative to this datum. To apply time shift>
Edit > Time Alignment
If you don’t have checkshots > may have to estimate velocity from sonic log to get a default TWT time shift
Generally callibrated using check shots. If not, then need replacement velocity. If not estimate from sonic
TWT = (Start Sonic – KB Eleb)/(2xReplacement Velocity)
Then insert Well curve
OK
OK
To make visible click Log Scales from the Edit > Log Scales drop down
Add 3000, 10,000 to the left and right log scales > OK
File > Save
Select AVO/AVA Synthetics from the Synthetics drop down on the Well Editor Window
Select your wavelet and click the save defaults button
OK
Place your AVO

Lower amplitudes with water only suggests that the presence of hydrocarbons will produce an increase of amplitude with offset

Use model builder to
Select well 5 times
In the Model Builder Select Edit > Default Correlations
Apply > Close
Yes to default correlations will delete any existing correlations
File Save > AVO Cross Section
OK> OK
Create Top and Base correlations
Correlation must intersect sonic and density curves in each well
Create horizontal T1 and Base correlations at top and bottom of cross section
Use correlation selector to select T1
Then click across the top of the log display
Zoom all> then zoom in across base >
Select positions across the base of each log
Zoom all
Model > Create AVO/AVA model
Make sure stretch / squeeze is selected and then > Done
Rename and enter # of traces > select Logs to Use
Near Offsets
Select your logs
OK
Use Repeat Traces > Select all wells > and specify repeat traces
Add> OK
Specify Datum Elevation and Velocity
Specify maximum offset and any other parameters; then Save Default >
Generate Model Again, these should define the Near Offsets
Maximize > not 1:1
Change start and End Times and click OK
Turn off plotting parameters and click OK to close the dialog
Then save traces to SEGY
Define output file name (DOS or workstation)
Now Far Offset trace model will be generated in the Model Builder
Model > Create AVO/AVA model in the menu bar
Leave everything the same accept for model name and max and min offsets (at base) >
Generate Model
Model appears >
File > Plot Setup
Data Area Dialog change start and end times
Uncheck plotting parameters > OK
Not 1:1
Resize the trace model windows and arrange next to each other for comparison
File > Save model to SEGY
File > Save Model to SEGY option not shown in the on-line course drop down > Keep Clicking to get
Output dialog
Select a save file (far offset … Save > OK > File close all
In this case model parameters are not saved
Use well editor to compare traces > load SEGY Traces
Get into Geographix
Data
Modeling
Select Near Offset AVO.sgy
End trace 51 but only 41 specified?
Insert traces
Then load the far offset traces
End trace to 51 again> OK
Very subtle I couldn’t see it.
