Seismic interpretation with fluid flow simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 parameters we estimate for coarse tanks & tubes models are meaningful; specifically, they may be used to constrain more detailed models.

Fluid Flow Property Estimation from Seismic Scattering Data
All geophysical methods detect fractures indirectly [e.g. NAS/NRC, 1996]. Typically several levels of interpretation follow the collection of raw geophysical data. Field measurements must first be interpreted (for example from travel time to velocities or identification of the origin of seismic scattering features in the coda). Then the fracture properties must be deduced using models (from sei...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Modeling and Interpretation of Seismoelectric Data
Generally speaking, seismoelectric modeling is a prospecting method based on seismic and electromagnetic waves, in which waves generated by a seismic source at the boundary of the two environments generate a relative fluid-solid motion formed as a result of antagonism between the elastic properties of the environment with the saturated fluid. This research has as its objective, a study of the e...
متن کاملA closer look at rock physics models and their assisted interpretation in seismic exploration
Subsurface rocks and their fluid content along with their architecture affect reflected seismic waves through variations in their travel time, reflection amplitude, and phase within the field of exploration seismology. The combined effects of these factors make subsurface interpretation by using reflection waves very difficult. Therefore, assistance from other subsurface disciplines is needed i...
