Carbonate geophysics is a complicated topic and at the moment there is only one book that I am aware that is written on that topic: "Carbonate Seismology" by Palaz and Marfurt (1997) If you know of any other book written on this topic I would appreciate if you could send me information about it. |

Francisco What do you mean when you refer to Carbonate Geophysics??? |

Carbonate geophysics may refer to carbonate deposits imaged using 3D or 2D seismic data. So basically identifying carbonates and their internal structure using seismic. I am currently working on exploration in a carbonate region and we are planning to target carbonate plays in Miocene Strata. We expect high levels of karstification, but would like more assurance on this... For more info: The Leading Edge special section on Carbonate Geophysics (The Leading Edge - Vol. 22, Issue 7, p. 606-698)- http://segdl.org/dbt/dbt.jsp?KEY=LEEDFF ... 22&Issue=7 |

Oh, that clears things up. Don't know any specifics on this topic though. I do think you will be able to image slope failures, fracturing and subsurface caves with seismic depending on your seismic resolution. What are you seeing? Any seismic line you can share... I'm just curious. |

I can not share any seismic lines due to confidentiallity, but slope failures and caves beneath the sea floor have been detected in seismic studies conducted at the University of Tromsø. And our features largely represent those morphologies and seismic response. Also sea craters and methane surges may be visible on our seismic data, but it indeed requires that these features are of a certain size (larger than the seismic resolution). All in all a pretty interesting region... |
