| Abstract | ||
| The study deals with 3D seismic reflection in the central Iraq within Merjan oil field which is located approximately (130 km) to the southwest Baghdad and south of Razaza. The 3D seismic survey was interpreted; the results showed that the oil is found within Hartha Formation as stratigraphic traps and with the absence of structural traps. The major normal faults picked are trending N-S direction. There are also minor faults observed using the instantaneous phase and frequency sections, they proved the presence of the faults and showed that the ending of the Safawi reflector toward the north and northeast to the south and southeast and near the western border of fault because of the facies change in the area. The reflector shows a structural nose extend in NW-SE trend and plunges to the south-east. The seismic attributes show that (Me-1) well is a stratigraphic trap and (Wk-1) well is a wildcat. The phenomenon of gas was shown clearly at the west of well, (Me-1) in seismic attribute and section. | ||
