Figure 69. Increase in acoustic impedance results in a peak at the reservoir top. Decreased<br />

acoustic impedance results in a trough at the reservoir top. Tuning point occurs around 10<br />

m thickness.<br />

These results will help to interpret the results <strong>of</strong> the more complex models and verify if<br />

the model response is accurate. It is important to note that the tuning effects can be much<br />

more complex than simple tuning between the, top and base <strong>of</strong> the reservoir. Internal<br />

reservoir complexities can also cause complications with the tuning effect, which are<br />

beyond the scope <strong>of</strong> this study.<br />

This chapter summarizes the method <strong>of</strong> building models and general forward<br />

modeling. The next three chapters will show three reservoirs representing three separate<br />

deepwater facies. Along with each reservoir will be two models that were developed with<br />

Brushy Canyon outcrop models, AVO models and the interpretation <strong>of</strong> the forward<br />

model results. Finally, these models will be compared to the actual Ursa seismic data.<br />
