Abstract
In the vicinity of the Békés-2 well, located near the center of the basin, seismic reflection data show a complex geologic structure in the Mesozoic-age basement rocks below a depth of 3400 m. To assist in the interpretation of the geometry of the structure, three nearby seismic profiles were reprocessed, vertical seismic profiles (VSPs) were recorded in the well, and a new surface seismic line was recorded concurrently with one of the VSPs. Interpretations of the surface seismic data were integrated with those of the VSP data and a structural model of the Mesozoic-age rocks was developed. Two-dimensional seismic modeling aided in modifying the interpretation and the synthetic seismic response of the final interpretation gave a reasonable match to the observed data. This final interpretation is a good approximation of the geometric relationships between seismic reflection boundaries in the Mesozoic-age rocks in the area of the Békés-2 well site.
