Application of S-Transform and Simultaneous Seismic Inversion to Interpret Bright Spots

Nastaran Moosavi, Mohammad Mokhtari

Bright spots are usually seen in seismic sections that can be interpreted as gas reservoirs. These local anomalies are identified as an increase in amplitudes on a seismic section. However, bright spots are not always gas indicators. They are also produced because of lithology changes. In this case, to prevent great costs of drilling, we need to understand the cause of bright spots. In this paper we use two methods which are mainly based on frequency and velocity analysis of seismic waves. Therefore, we apply simultaneous seismic inversion and S-transform on a 2D pre-stack seismic data which in its CDP gathers, several bright spots are seen. We just choose two of these bright spots arbitrarily. If they are due to hydrocarbon, P-wave velocity decreases sharply while S-wave velocity increases slightly, therefore decreases. Similarly, high frequencies being eliminated in the hydrocarbon areas. In contrast, if the bright spot is produced due to lithology change (gas saturated limestone/ limestone interface) then frequency and P-wave velocity will increase while S-velocity decreases.
