Abstract

Integrated analysis of well, seismic and controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) data is key in order to provide valuable information on reservoir properties and content. The purpose of this study was to jointly analyze well data, seismic data and CSEM data to provide a clear appraisal of a prospect offshore West Africa. Firstly, CSEM data was modeled and inverted. Results were then integrated with the available seismic and well data in order to better understand the resistivity changes we were seeing in the CSEM inversion. In particular, the observation of a low resistivity zone coincident with the seismically mapped prospect is disappointing; however two plausible geological explanations were considered and led to the decision of dropping the block.
