| Abstract | Rock physics analysis and seismic inversion in Service Contract 63, Southwest Palawan Basin, Philippines, has been found to be an effective way to delineate the clastic and carbonate reservoirs within the block. Two types of inversion were conducted, namely, a simultaneous inversion using partial seismic angle stack data for the Pagasa Formation and an acoustic impedance inversion using full stack seismic data for the Nido Limestone. It is difficult to distinguish the sands and shales in the Pagasa Formation but the gas sands could be differentiated from brine sands and shales in the acoustic impedance (AI)-extended elastic impedance (EEI) domain, where two types of gas sands were delineated. The first type corresponds to low AI and high EEI, whereas the second type relates to moderate AI and low EEI and correlates to the interval that flowed 50 MMscfgpd of gas in the Abo Abo-A1X well. The higher AI in the second type of gas sand could be brought about by the presence of limestone fragments in the sands as defined from petrographic analysis. The limestones on the other hand have high AI and correlate to the bright reflectors on seismic data. For the Nido Limestone, low AI values can be correlated to high porosity while higher AI values are associated with lower porosity This predictable relationship between acoustic impedance and carbonate porosities is similar to the reported character of the Nido Limestone in the Northwest Palawan Basin. Seismic inversion is a viable tool that can be used to identify the presence of both clastic and carbonate reservoirs and reduce the exploration risk in the Southwest Palawan Basin. |
