This case study illustrates how 3D generalised inversion of seismic facies for reservoir parameters can be successfully applied to image and laterally predict reservoir parameters in laterally discontinuous turbiditic depositional environment where hydrocarbon pools are located in complex combined stratigraphic-structural traps. Such conditions mean that structural mapping is inadequate to define traps and to estimate reserves in place. Conventional seismic amplitude analysis has been used to aid definition but was not sufficient to guarantee presence of economic hydrocarbons in potential reservoir pools. The Ngatoro Field in Taranaki, New Zealand has been producing for nine years. Currently the field is producing 1,000 bopd from seven wells and at three surface locations down from a peak of over 1,500 bopd. The field production stations have been analysed using new techniques in 3D seismic imaging to locate bypassed oils and identify undrained pools. To define the objectives of the study, three questions were asked:Can we image reservoir pools in a complex stratigraphic and structural environment where conventional grid-based interpretation is not applicable due to lack of lateral continuity in reservoir properties?Can we distinguish fluids within each reservoir pools?Can we extrapolate reservoir parameters observed at drilled locations to the entire field using 3D seismic data to build a 3D reservoir model?Using new 3D seismic attributes such as bright spot indicators, attenuation and edge enhancing volumes coupled with 6 AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset) volumes integrated into a single class cube of reservoir properties, made the mapping of reservoir pools possible over the entire data set. In addition, four fluid types, as observed in more than 20 reservoir pools were validated by final inverted results to allow lateral prediction of fluid contents in un-drilled reservoir targets. Well production data and 3D seismic inverted volume were later integrated to build a 3D reservoir model to support updated volumetrics reserves computation and to define additional targets for exploration drilling, additional well planning and to define a water injection plan for pools already in production.

Three-dimensional geological modeling techniques, developed from 1980s, is a new geological technology used to make reservoir fine description and geological characterization with the combination of seismic, geological and reservoir exploration and development based on geostatistics. Three-dimensional geological modeling can achieve the quantitative characterization of the reservoir and heterogeneity of various scales. So far, it has been the most important content of reservoir description, what’s more, three-dimensional structure modeling can improve the accuracy and reliability of fine reservoir description through the establishment of three-dimensional reservoir model, the quantitative distribution of three-dimensional reservoir parameters and geometry.

The article presents a brief overview of the views on the stratification of the section of the neocomian deposits. As a basis for geological modeling, instead of formation units, seismic facies complexes were taken, including reservoirs in the coastal shallow-water zone, in a relatively deep-water zone - isochronous clinoform formations of the achimov strata. Within the researched territory, the characteristic of the established oil and gas potential of the complex is presented, on the basis of 3D seismic survey, perspective objects are identified, and their seismogeological characteristics are given.
