The seismic interpretation for (x)‎ oil field depending on 3d seismic data of nearby oil field, southern Iraq

الملخص EN

This research focused on using seismic data to review the structure of the (X) Oil Field, located 40 km SW of Basrah, Southern Iraq.

The study utilises a 3D seismic survey conducted during 2011-2012, covering the (Y) Oil Field 2 km to the west, and with partial coverage across (X), to map the Top Zubair reflector.

Seismic rock properties analysis was conducted on key (X) Oil Field wells and used to tie the Top Zubair reflector on (X) Oil Field.

The reflector was mapped within the time domain using DecisionSpace Software, and then converted to depth using a velocity model.

The depth structure map was then compared to the original oil water contact (OOWC) across the fields to understand the potential structural closure of the Top Zubair reservoir in both fields.
