8 Time Contour Map

To make a time contour map it is necessary that more than one seismic sections of the same area must be
interpreted. Along with seismic line 905-QZN-03 there are four other seismic lines (905-QZN-04, 905-
QZN-05, 905-QZN-06, and QZN-10) which are interpreted and the time contour maps is made.

The time contour map is made by the following procedure:

 Transfer the time reading from seismic time section to their respective seismic lines on the base
map after specific interval.
 Join the points of equal values on the seismic lines to construct iso-contour lines.

each other.

5.10 Velocity Contour Map Method

In this method, the velocities used for the determination of the depth of every reflector are estimated with
the help of Average velocity contour map (Iso-velocity map). The different average velocities under the
shot points are plotted along their respective times. Velocity maps are generated by using constant
velocities against the respective Vibroseis point. Figures (5.22, 5.23, and 5.24) are showing contour maps
of Horizon A, B, and C respectively.

 The reverse faults i.e. F1 and F2 close the anticline on both limbs.
 Along the faults the velocity contour values are low and similarly velocity contour values also
noted to be low at anticline top. But at depth of anticline velocity values are high due to
compaction.
 Velocity values confirm the lithology i.e. Limestone (3300 to 4400m/sec).
 Velocity contour map shows the anticline closure at shallowest points and faults are dipping
towards each other.
 The velocity values are lowest at shallow depth and velocity increases with increase in depth.
 The Well point is between at short point 190 of QZN-03 and short point 180 at QZN-04 which is
drilled at left limb of anticline.

 The velocity values are lowest at shallow depth and velocity increases with increase in depth
because of compaction. In loose material velocity decreases.
