Facies Classifications for Seismic Inversion
Identifying facies for classification for a seismic inversion project is an important step where one balances computational effort and the quality of the results. We propose a new measure to quantify the suitability of a given facies partition based on information theory. The results depend on a user-selected cutoff, and we propose a reasonable value for this constant. We also show the analysis...
متن کاملSeismic Facies Characterization by Scale Analysis
Over the years, there has been an ongoing struggle to relate well-log and seismic data due to the inherent bandwidth limitation of seismic data, the problem of seismic amplitudes, and the apparent inability to delineate and characterize the transitions that can be linked to and held responsible for major reflection events and their signatures. By shifting focus to a scale invariant sharpness ch...
متن کاملSeismic facies characterization by monoscale analysis
Relating sedimentary records to seismic data is a major challenge. By shifting focus to a scale-invariant sharpness characterization for the reflectors, we develop an attribute that can capture and categorize the main reflector features, without being sensitive to amplitudes. Sharpness is defined by a scale exponent, which expresses singularity order and determines the reflection signature/wave...
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 کاملPoisson model for earthquake frequency uncertainties in seismic hazard analysis
Frequency-magnitude distributions, and their associated uncertainties, are of key importance in statistical seismology. When fitting these distributions , the assumption of Gaussian residuals is invalid since event numbers are both discrete and of unequal variance. In general, the observed number in any given magnitude range is described by a binomial distribution which, given a large total num...
