    This document proposes a workflow to integrate borehole seismic data with surface seismic data to improve seismic interpretation. The workflow includes 3 steps: 1) Using VSP data to check and correct the wavelet phase of surface seismic, 2) Performing well seismic ties between VSP/geomechanical data and surface seismic, and 3) Conducting fluid substitution and AVO modeling around well locations to identify fluid types in the subsurface. This workflow could reduce time-depth uncertainty, enhance seismic interpretation, and help identify gas zones - providing value to clients through reduced drilling risk and increased revenue for Schlumberger through additional borehole seismic services.

    Conclusions
    Use of borehole seismic data to correct uncertainty in time-depth conversion increases the confidence in surface seismic interpretation Use of fluid substitution & AVO study define gas zone and reduces the risk of drilling

    Recommendations
    Apply this workflow for future FFR/FDP (Samarang, Erb West) in BMP Highlight to client where no VSP is currently available (and recommend cased-hole VSP survey, high deviated well VSP)
