Abstract

In the last few decades, the interest in thin hydrocarbon reservoirs has grown progressively justifying the great effort spent on developing techniques for quantitative interpretation of thin bed seismic response. As the exploration matures in most of the category-I basins of India, focus is gradually shifting towards delineation of thin stratigraphic reservoirs. Many a times it is difficult to precisely estimate the vertical and lateral extensions of a significant portion of discovered hydrocarbon reservoirs due to the thin layer effect.
