Abstract The Red Fork formation consists of incised valley fills which are formed during changes of sea level. While many of the producing wells can be correlated to stratigraphic features seen in the seismic, many of them do not, giving raise to the term ?invisible? channels. The main objective of this work is to identify the different lithologies present in the valley system and model their response using a modern full waveform elastic equation algorithm. Given this response we will be able to predict whether to reprocess the data for AVO analysis, acquire higher frequency and more densely sampled P-wave data, or even to acquire SH-SH data.
