RESULTS

The indicators of hydrocarbon leakage observed show a wide range of seismic responses. What could be loosely classified as HRDZs constitute the most common type of indicator seen. All of the HRDZs exhibit, to a greater or lesser degree, one or more of the three main identifying characteristics, namely amplitude anomaly, time pull-up and degraded stack response. In some cases, it is clear that the HRDZs are also closely associated with gas chimneys, producing a complex, hybrid appearance on seismic data. Seismic amplitude anomalies, simple gas chimneys, shallow trapped gas and interpreted sea floor carbonate mounds and pockmarks have also been detected.
