AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset) analysis method that works on the reflectivity
domain can be used to identify and analyze the presence of hydrocarbon
anomalies generally. But in certain cases is required deeper analysis to detect
hydrocarbon. For example, extended elastic impedance (EEI) has been found to
be discriminator effective in lithology and fluid separation. In this research, I
performed synthetic modelling in Paleocene reservoir, that is impedance model
and reflectivity model. From impedance model, it can be seen that acoustic
impedance (AI) model could not show the existence channel sand in this research.
However, on the model of gradient impedance (GI) and extended elastic
impedance (EEI) can be seen clearly the channel sand on the Paleocene reservoir.
The optimum projection for lithology separation to see existence of channel sand
occured in EEI 60 o. While the model reflectivity which is created using equation
Aki-Richard term 2, found that the zero offset and full stack can not showing
channel sand, but in the far synthetic model (angle 30o), channel sand is beginning
to be seen. The application of pick AVO Paleocene reservoir, get anomaly class of
sandstones is class IIp on top A-2. In this research is also applied extended elastic
impedance (EEI) method as continuation of AVO method that is applied to angle
gather IL1728. EEI section in this research is obtained from trace math between
AI and GI. While acoustic impedance and gradient impedance in this research was
obtained through a method of coloured inversion which is applied to intercept and
gradient.
