Identification and Geological Validation of AVO Opportunities

This technical report presents the identification and geological validation of AVO-driven opportunities in infrastructure-led settings, specifically in the North Sea and Atlantic Margin. The report discusses the application of relative extended elastic impedance (rEEI) inversion on recently processed 3D seismic data to screen for AVO anomalies and identify undrilled opportunities. The methodology is validated through comparisons with drilling results, demonstrating the effectiveness of the rEEI inversion method. The report details the challenges of identifying low-risk drilling opportunities in proven basins while maximizing the use of existing facilities. It outlines specific case studies, including the Eocene Tay Sandstone and the Vøring Basin, where the rEEI inversion method has been applied successfully. The findings indicate a close match between AVO anomalies and well data, providing confidence in the method's application for future exploration efforts. The report concludes with the potential for further investigation of identified undrilled anomalies.
