The AVO fluid inversion (AFI) technique was used to assess for fluids at the target levels of OPL-X in the deepwater Niger Delta, Nigeria. In this study, attempt is made to get a quantitative probability estimate of the possible reservoir fluids in both the shallow and deeper target levels. This was achieved through the development of a stochastic AVO model and an inversion to probability of different fluids using the Bayesian approach. AVO Fluid Inversion (AFI) technique provides a robust and inexpensive method for identifying potential hydrocarbon-filled reservoirs and provides a quantitative estimates of the uncertainties inherent in the prediction.
