Application of Seismuc Attribute Analysis to Reserch the Distribution of Middle Miocene Coral Reef Carbonate in Block 04-3, Nam Con Son Basin

Abstract

The seismic properties of Root Mean Square Amplitude, Maximum Amplitude, and Sum of Positive Amplitude most clearly reflect the distribution characteristics of middle Miocene carbonate sediments in ​​block 04-3, Nam Con Son basin. Middle Miocene carbonate is commonly distributed on both reflection surfaces of  P1 and P2. Within each reflective surface, carbonate sediments are concentrated around the uplifting zones, such as structures of Thien Ung - Mang Cau, Dai Hung and Bo Cau. These are completely consistent with the results of the interpretation of well-log data of Vietsovpetro, VSP [1]. The wells C-2X and C-4X  located at the edge of the uplifting zone should have the thickest carbonates. According to the results of amplitude attribute analysis, these wells are distributed in the high concentration area of carbonate formations. Meanwhile well C-1X  and well C-3X, which are near the top of the uplifting zone and further away from the uplifting structure have thin carbonate set and belongs to a low carbonate density area.
