1. Seismic Line Across ‘Alpha’
Fluid Contact?
Gas over Oil?
Fluid Contact?
Oil over Water?
Slide 24
Here is a seismic line across the Alpha prospect
There is strong evidence for one fluid contact – a boundary between one type of fluid above a
different type of fluid
There is much weaker evidence for a second (shallower) fluid contact
If there are two contacts, then the lower contact - green – is probably the boundary between oil
above and water below
The upper contact - red - is probably the boundary between gas above and oil below
