| Summary: | The offshore part of the Nile Delta is considered one of the most prolific provinces for gas production and for future petroleum exploration. Amplitude Variation with Offset (AVO) analysis supported by composite logs considered as one of the best-advanced techniques enables the interpreter to understand the seismic data. It is used to generate a new view of the output results, especially for the identification of gas zones as gas channels by using pre-stack AVO attributes that based on the intercept product gradient (A*B) and the Scaled Poisson’s Ratio Change. Free gas, regardless of the percentage show obvious AVO anomaly. Well log data, including gamma-ray, resistivity, and Vp sonic logs are used in the seismic data to well tie and in the generation of the synthetic seismogram. Seismic data conditioning processes with check-shot correction is performed to improve the resolution of the reflection events and signal to noise ratio. AVO attributes technique, as a direct hydrocarbon indicator, including AVO gradient analysis and AVO crossplot separate the gas levels in the sand-shale sequences. The identified gas-bearing zones consistent with well log data responses. As the main conclusion, we show the visual evidence for the gas-bearing zones by interpreting different AVO responses due to the changes in fluid and rock types.
