Developing a relationship between static Young’s modulus and seismic parameters

Abstract Mechanical properties of petroleum reservoirs can be determined via static techniques based on laboratory triaxial tests under reservoir conditions. Dynamic approaches represent an alternative in cases where such data are unavailable. elastic calculated using ultrasonic wave measurements the or situ well logging. Different relationships have been proposed to estimate from dynamic ones available a particular reservoir. However, these often reservoir-specific, making them inadequate for general seismic inversion purposes. This research proposes method developing between parameters and Young’s modulus carbonate by integrating measurements, logging data, rock mechanic tests. A multistage test simulating conditions was used fully control stress strain during geomechanical experiments. Static cross-correlated with broad spectrum that extracted (e.g., acoustic impedance, shear Lambda–rho, mu–rho). Separate analytic were convert into modulus. Analysis variance evaluate results study applicability reliability obtained relationships. Furthermore, successfully confirmed blind analysis. The methodology predict behavior structural modeling.
