  » CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION GENERAL STATEMENT Micropaleontology is an important aspect of geology. It involves the study of microfossil. Most sediments contain microfossil, and the kind of microfossil depends largely on the original age, environment of deposition and burial history of the sediment. Because microfossils are small and abundant they can be recorded from small sample. Hence when a geolog...Continue Reading »

• 100. AMPLITUDE VARIATION WITH OFFSET MODELING FOR RESERVOIR FLIUD DISCRIMIANTION

  » Abstract Due to the contrasts in the physical properties of rocks, seismic amplitudes vary with source receiver offset. How seismic amplitudes change with offset has been described quantitatively by the Zoeppritz equations and other modifications to the equations. Quantitative modeling and analysis of amplitude variation with offset (AVO) is useful in discriminating between different reservoir lit...Continue Reading »
