Seismic Signature of Transition Zone (Wolf Ramp) in Shale Deposits with Application of Frequency Analysis by Anna Kwietniak, Tomasz Maćkowski, Kamil Cichostępski

“…The Pasłęk Formation was considered to be a potential shale gas reservoir and it was necessary to determine its structural position and thickness. The formation is challenging for robust seismic interpretation on the migrated seismic section—it does not manifest a stable reflection coefficient, and the amplitude contrast associated with the borders of the formation is low. …”
