Abstract

The challenges of operational cost have increased as the Norwegian operations expand the searches of deep-water horizons, However, a better understanding of the sequences stratigraphic elements within the Soedinc Field can help us predict some of the petroleum system elements and their depositional sequences. Therefore, Attribute analysis performed on the mapped reservoir tops gave clues on the petrophysical properties of the identified reservoirs. The study integrates 3D seismic data and log suites adopting the depositional sequence II model to classify the genetically related strata and their bounding surfaces. Two depositional sequences were identified with their allied systems tracts, nine bounding surfaces and parasequence such as (aggradation, retrogradation and progradation) were also identified. The analysis of the seismic facies indicates that some of the formations correspond to the High and Low Amplitude Convergent (Cbhl) facies and the High Amplitude Convergent (Cbh) respectively showing reservoirs with best porosity and permeability.
