Welcome to Petroleum Geology Forums

Hello all, I am being student at University of Jakarta
Is possible for seismic to show me oil or the gas. This i need to know for when choosing before drilling. I am doing project at university and need to tell or not to drill on seismic line.

help is many thanks!

Afendi,

There are ways to detect oil and/or gas using seismic. These are called Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHI). Thes form due to the hydrocarbons causing an impedence contrast with neighbouring layers and may indicate the presence of oil or gas. Flatspots and brightspots are the most common examples. Another common technique which specialised processing of raw seismic data allows one to investigate Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) and can also help one to find hydrocarbons through seismics.

If you do a google search on those keywords you are bound to find some more specific information.

Well, It depends upon them. Weather they allow you or not. Hope they may allow you to show you oil or the gas. Tell them this is your need and can't be underestimated.
