3D Seismic Interpretation and Development of Sequence Stratigraphic Model of a Carbonate Buildup in Central Luconia, Offshore Sarawak

The calibrated 3D seismic data were studied to characterize the carbonate facies in a carbonate buildup located in southeast Central Luconia Province. The sequence stratigraphy and seismic attributes analyses were carried on the carbonate bearing intervals to characterize the facies. understand t...
