Direct Detection of Hydrocarbons: Some Preliminary Thoughts and Questions

After briefly reviewing seismic signatures associated with the direct detection of hydrocarbons, some possible non-hydrocarbon sources of seismic signatures which may masquerade as hydrocarbon patterns are considered. Four broad avenues of research are suggested which may allow greater assurance in identifying and interpreting seismic signatures associated with hydrocarbon accumulations than is currently enjoyed. It is also suggested that any available information extending upon any part of this paper will increase the base of knowledge of seismic direct detection indicators.
