I. INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND

• The main reservoir is carbonate in Minahaki Fm.

• Carbonate reservoir has special treatment compares to
another reservoir. It is largely controlled by facies and
diagenesis.
• Carbonate reservoir in Minahaki Fm have high porosity
and contained gas. It will make the AI value become low.
• To handle those problem, we would like to integrate
seismic facies, rock physics, AI and porosity.
II. METHODOLOGY
 Methods

Seismic -Seismic attributes for facies

Attribute identification
- Multi attribute for porosity
trend prediction
Seismic
-Bandlimited inversion
Inversion - Model based inversion

Rock Physics -Fluid Replacement Modeling (FRM)

- Sensitivity analysis
 Four conditions of FRM :
• High porosity
• Low porosity
• Brine saturated
• Gas saturated
Porosity affects more on AI
value than the pore fluid

FRM Result
 Sensitivity analysis

•Porous carbonate – lower AI – upper
part of Minahaki Fm
•Less porous carbonate – high AI –
lower part of Minahaki Fm
•Shale – high AI – Mentawa Shale Fm
There are overlap between the hydrocarbon
and water zone.
We prefer to analyze the lithology from
AI than pore fluid.

• Facies Amplitude It consist of :
- Raw Seismic Data - 1/inversion
• Facies Frequency - Amplitude envelope
- Instantaneous Frequency - Filter 5/10-15/20
• Facies Internal Character - Raw seismic
- Raw Seismic Data - Amplitude weighted
frequency
- Filter 35/40-45/50
