Thin Brent Sandstones
– 125ft-375ft, typically ~1 cycle on conventional seismic
Shallow marine to deltaic clastic system
– individual formations exhibit highly variable reservoir qualities
Heavily faulted reservoir
– Faults with minor throws can operate as baffles/barriers to flow
Complex Diagenetic History
– Kaolinite, Quartz, Illite and Calcite all occur
Variable Acoustic Impedances
– Above and within the Brent
• Variable pick at Top (and Base) Brent
Seismic resolution is critical for further development

(the fundamental frequencies) are

chosen pivot frequency.

3. A convolution-like process is employed to convolve the predicted harmonic (and sub-harmonic)
information onto the initial seismic trace. If reflectivity at low amplitudes is present in the input data
that corresponds to the harmonic (and sub-harmonic) predictions, the extended frequencies will
remain in the result. However, if extended harmonics or sub-harmonics frequencies do not correspond
to reflectivity in the input data, these extended harmonics will drop out of the result.

temporal resolution. Result is less noisy than traditional bandwidth enhancement techniques.

Average phase of the input
volume was assessed to be
+123˚. Seismic data must be
rotated in the opposite
direction (-123˚) in order to
zero phase the data to a
polarity convention in which an
acoustic impedance is a peak,
as required by the algorithm.

Conclusions
• Bandwidth Extension has significantly improved the
resolution of the Heather-Broom seismic dataset
• Synthetic ties confirm little loss of Signal/Noise
• Improvement over previous frequency enhancement
techniques
• Most improvement in fault definition
• Brent formation properties and diagenesis remain a
challenge
• But more work to be done
