Seismic interpretation with fluid flow simulation
In seismic interpretation with fluid flow simulation, we construct simple reservoir models with a small number of flow units, such as geologic layers and fault blocks. We call these units tanks and connect them with tubes. For such simple models, we may interactively adjust reservoir properties, such as porosities of tanks and transmissibilities of tubes. Numerical experiments suggest that para...
متن کاملAtomic Meshes: from Seismic Imaging to Reservoir Simulation
Combining image processing and optimization techniques, we automatically align a lattice of points (atoms) with horizons and faults in a 3-D seismic image. Connecting these points yields an unstructured space-filling polyhedral (atomic) mesh. This single data structure can integrate multiple tasks, such as seismic interpretation, reservoir characterization, and flow simulation, thereby reducing...
متن کاملSeismic monitoring of reservoir fluid flow: Fundamental theory and examples1
Time-lapse 3-D seismic monitoring of subsurface rock property changes incurred during reservoir fluid-flow processes is an emerging new diagnostic technology for optimizing hydrocarbon production. I discuss the physical theory relevant for three-phase fluid flow in a producing oil reservoir, and rock physics transformations of fluid-flow pressure, temperature and pore-fluid saturation values to...
متن کاملConstraints on Subduction Geodynamics from Seismic Anisotropy
[1] Much progress has been made over the past several decades in delineating the structure of subducting slabs, but several key aspects of their dynamics remain poorly constrained. Major unsolved problems in subduction geodynamics include those related to mantle wedge viscosity and rheology, slab hydration and dehydration, mechanical coupling between slabs and the ambient mantle, the geometry o...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: seismic anisotropy mantle flow geodynamic modeling shear wave splitting surface wave analysis mantle convection Observations of seismic anisotropy yield some of the most direct constraints available on both past and present-day deformation in the Earth's mantle. Insight into the character of mantle flow can also be gained from the geodynamical modeling of mantle ...
