Facies Classifications for Seismic Inversion
نویسنده
چکیده
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 to be a useful aid for quantitative comparison of various possible facies partitions from a synthetic data example.

Rock physics based facies classification from seismic-inversion results in unconventional reservoirs
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the power of integrating rock physics theory, measurement and simulation to improve facies prediction in an unconventional limestone and shale reservoir. Reliable facies prediction is a challenge in unconventional reservoir characterization because of complex geological heterogeneities. Both deterministic and probabilistic approaches are commonly us...
متن کاملEstimation of facies probabilities on the Snorre field using geostatistical AVA inversion
We have done a geostatistical inversion of seismic data to facies probabilities. As a first step, we invert the seismic data for elastic parameters using the Bayesian AVA inversion method of Buland et. al. (2003). Next, we use an analysis of the uncertainty in the posterior distribution to filter the elastic parameters given in well logs. By comparing these filtered well logs with facies logs, ...

The main objective of this work is to present a new methodology for seismic reservoir characterization that provides fine-scaled reservoir models of facies and reservoir properties, such as porosity, net-to-gross, and, possibly, fluid saturation. The proposed iterative methodology is based on sequential simulations of discrete variables, namely sequential indicator simulation, and a stochastic ...

A new technology of classifying a seismic interval parallel to a horizon in a 3D volume based on the shape of the wiggle traces and its geologic use will be presented here. Since the seismic traces contain all relevant information, such as, reflection patterns, phase, frequency, amplitude etc., the trace shape is a fundamental property of the seismic data. A map showing the distribution of simi...

Here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of Iran’s oilfields is described. Stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. This method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...
