The development of 3-D seismic is the single most important technological tmirthrough in many years. Some guidelines to separate reserves into the traditional classification of proved. probable, and possible using seismic methods have been developed and refinements to die current definitions proposed. These guidelines supplement the SPE reserve definitions and the SPEE. (Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers) guidelines, which were published in the 80`s and do not detail the use of seismic data in classification of reserves. Since the oil and gas industry is increasing the use of 3-D seismic, it is time for the SPE to recognize the usefulness of 3-D seismic data in classifying reserves. Use of 3-D seismic data is especially important in classifying reserves in complex structural and stratigraphic traps with limited well and production data. The seismic methodology and thought process and typical interpretation steps are illustrated in two simulated cm studies. Smarter, faster, cheaper, more profitable oil and gas development and reserve evaluation result from the use of 3-D seismic.
