The paper aims to show the efficiency of a novel estimation technique for oil and gas in reservoirs in complicate-constructed (non-anticline) traps. In contrast to traditional techniques, which require tracing two horizons to estimate a complicated trap, this one uses only one horizon that crosses the reservoir. The new technique is based on investigating seismic waves’ absorption. Absorption was found to be very sensitive to changes in the percentage of gas in the pore reservoir. As a result, t
