The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / The aim of this study is to use all available information, primarily 3D seismic data, to describe and predict the geometry, petrophysical characteristics and fluid content of the reservoir unit of the Angel Field, North West Shelf, Western Australia. This integrated approach generates new ideas and methods such as recognition and mapping of massive dolomite-cemented zones in the sandstone from the 3D seismic data, and development of a model for the age and mode of formation of the dolomite cement in the sandstone from integration of 3D seismic mapping and carbon isotope and other petrographic data. It focuses on the use of 3D seismic data, specifically analysis of the pre-stack gathers and the stacked data, to delineate the reservoir quality. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, National Centre for Petroleum Geology and Geophysics, 1996?
