C038 The Use of AVO Attributes & Visualisation to De- Risk Exploration Prospects – A Case History D.C. Barkwith* (Schlumberger) R. Godfrey (WesternGeco) R. Dolman (Schlumberger) & M. Sawyers (Exploration Geosciences) SUMMARY The application of seismic AVO attributes is a tool for reducing exploration risk. There are many AVO attributes to choose from. Here we use the product of normal incidence (NI) and Poisson’s ratio contrast (PRC) (Verm and Hilterman 1995) to aid the identification of fluids in the study area. To demonstrate the efficacy of the attribute a case study from the UK sector of the North Sea will
