English abstract
Both carbonate and clastics reservoirs play an important and indispensable role for hydrocarbon resource in South Oman Salt Basin (SOSB). Clastics reservoirs typically are sedimentary features highly depend on seismic resolution due to their lower acoustic impedance contrast. Seismic resolution in turn depends on the seismic acquisition parameters. Therefore; Clastics with inadequate seismic resolution pose a challenging task for interpreters and thereby predicting reservoir properties from seismic data. In this study, structural interpretation of seismic data as well as attribute analysis carried out in a selected area within South Oman Salt Basin at eastern flank by using well-log data in generating synthetic seismograms. Seismic data interpretation carried out in this study shows a lower seismic amplitude and frequency content. The seismic data acquisition was carried out in 1990 with less than 20 fold. In effort to interpret the seismic response of these clastics reservoirs, the seismic response of carbonate assumes as significant key factor as a marker in guiding the seismic interpretation. Thousands of wells drilled across Oman during the past forty years, provide solid information about subsurface geology of Oman. As a result, the stratigraphy of South Oman Salt Basin is well established using the available stratigraphy sequence as a guide on seismic interpretation. This study may result to benefit the characterization of clastics and carbonate reservoirs in addition to other studies. Further, it may improve the understanding of depositional histories of such reservoirs. Finally, the entire study has brought out the geometry of the fault and the depositional sequence of the formation.
