SVISION — a new reality in delination of stratigraphic traps

Over the past decade, the global E&P business steadily shifting its exploration efforts toward stratigraphic prospects. At the same time, such traps are regarded as the riskiest exploration targets. Conventional methods often demonstrate weakness in their effective disclosure and subsequent examination. Thus, the demand to resolve this obstacle arises. In the course of searching for an efficient and prompt approach aiming to delineate and assess stratigraphic prospects, new SVision technology allowing direct traps detection in 3D seismic volumes has been applied to the Sakhalin-5 data set. In addition to earlier discoveries, within the studied area, SVision animated models reveal large fan systems all over the Pliocene sediment section. Some of them considered as new targets demonstrate direct hydrocarbon indicators.
