description The sweetness seismic attribute is a very useful tool for proper description of the depositional environment, reservoir quality and lithofacies discrimination. This paper shows that depositional channels and turbidity sandstones deposited during the Upper Pannonian and Lower Pontian in the Sava Depression can be described using porosity⁻thickness and sweetness seismic attribute maps. Two studied reservoirs are of Neogene stage (“UP„ reservoir of Upper Pannonian age and “LP„ reservoir of Lower Pontian age) and located in the Sava Depression, Croatia. Both reservoirs contain medium to fine grained sandstones that are intercalated with basinal marls. A comparison of the sweetness seismic attribute and porosity⁻thickness maps show a good visual match with correlation coefficient of approximately 0.85. A mismatch was observed in areas with small reservoir thickness. This work demonstrates the importance of using porosity⁻thickness maps for reservoir characterization. The workflow presented in this work has wider applications in frontier areas with poor seismic data or coverage.
