发明名称 METHOD OF ASSESSING HYDROCARBON SOURCE ROCK CANDIDATE
摘要 A method of assessing a hydrocarbon source rock candidate uses seismic data for a region of the Earth. The data are analysed to determine the presence, thickness and lateral extent of candidate source rock based on the knowledge of the seismic behaviour of hydrocarbon source rocks. An estimate is provided of the organic content of the candidate source rock from acoustic impedance. An estimate of the hydrocarbon generation potential of the candidate source rock is then provided from the thickness and lateral extent of the candidate source rock and from the estimate of the organic content.

主权项 1. A method of identifying a source rock candidate, comprising the steps of: providing seismic data for a region of the Earth; analysing the data to determine the presence of a candidate source rock by locating a region of rock where the seismic data indicates a low acoustic impedance relative to an over- and/or underlying region of rock and where the seismic amplitude decreases with increasing offset.
