We have interpreted a major sill complex of 80,000 km2 in the Vøring and Møre basins offshore mid-Norway based on seismic characteristics such as high amplitude reflections and saucer-shaped geometries. The sills are commonly associated with pipe-like hydrothermal vent complexes. However, only a few intrusions and vents have been drilled in this region. Recently we have conducted field work in the Neuquén Basin, Argentina, on kilometer-scale outcrop sections where sill complexes are intruded into Cretaceous host rocks, in order to better constrain the seismic wave propagation and imaging implications of sill-sediment complexes. Seismic modeling studies based on field analogues represent an important tool to close the scale gap between observations from outcrops and seismic data and to support seismic interpretation. Virtual outcrop models are generated based on photogrammetric imaging, and seismic properties are constrained from borehole data. Our results indicate that the seismic signatures of outcrop-scale geological features observed in field analogues are characterized by frequency-dependent interference and strong variations depending on the elastic properties of both host rock and sills. The high velocity of intrusions leads to strong attenuation, offset-dependent tuning, post-critical reflections, and converted waves. The results from the integrated modeling approach have led to more reliable interpretations of the presence, thickness, and distribution of sills in seismic data in volcanic basins, and an understanding of the implications of sills on the hydrocarbon system in extensional and compressional basins UR - https://biblioteca.iapg.org.ar/ArchivosAdjuntos/Conexplor2018/SGeof/1505.pdf ER -
