Most reservoirs
represent some small part of the conceptual depositional sequence
(Fig 3). Seismic data, particularly in "fast" (high density,
high velocity) carbonate settings, does not commonly have the resolution
needed to interpret the stratigraphic detail required to understand
the reservoir.
Therefore, it
is critical in most cases to interpret the stratigraphic succession
using core and log data initially, then use the understanding gained
to create depositional models that can be used to interpret and
incorporate seismic data into the overall model.
