SEAM RPSEA Project Michael Fehler SEAM Phase I Project Manager Slide 2 SEAM Phase I Model Construction Density and P-wave velocities described from rock and reservoir properties Variable-density acoustic simulations Approximately 65,000 shots Slide 3 SEAM RPSEA Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America SEAM work supported as part of Ultra- deewater Program SEAM will continue to use model developed for Phase I (subsalt) Slide 4 Main Focus Areas Variable-density acoustic simulations with absorbing upper surface CSEM simulations Michael Frenkel will present Gravity simulations Neda Bundalo will present Elastic simulations Magnetotelluric simulations Slide 5 Model Development Additional parameters needed Resistivity (vertical and horizontal) Shear-wave velocity Decimated density for gravity All models are derived using rock physics consistent with that used for acoustic model construction Leads to very low S-velocities near seafloor Slide 6 Models
