Abstract

The study presented here revolves around a 3-D seismic model constructed using a segment of the Laramie River (T17 & 18N, R74W, Wyoming) as our template. The primary purpose of the Laramie River model was to analyze the seismic response of high‐velocity sand point‐bar deposits encased in lower velocity shales, to uncover interpretation pitfalls in 2-D data, and to reveal any advantages of 3-D seismic data and offset VSPs. The model’s secondary purpose was to illustrate that, under certain circumstances, sandstone point‐bar deposits can be detected and exploited with a variety of seismic tools. Modeling was divided into three types: 2-D, 3-D, and offset VSP.
