Permeability upscaling in fractured reservoirs using different optimized mother wavelets at each level
We use a multi-resolution analysis based on a wavelet transform to upscale a 3D fractured reservoir. This paper describes a 3D, single-phase, and black-oil geological model (GM) that is used to simulate naturally-fractured reservoirs. The absolute permeability and porosity of GM is upscaled by all the possible combinations of Haar, Bior1.3, and Db4 wavelets in three levels of coarsening. The ap...
متن کاملDepth registration of P-wave and C-wave seismic data for shallow marine sediment characterization, Gulf of Mexico
converted P-to-SV wave (C-wave) wavefields, provide independent measurements of rock and fluid properties. Unlike P waves, C waves are minimally affected by changes in pore fluids, and in cases of azimuthal anisotropy, will be split into two modes (fast and slow) with differing polarization. The 4C, 3D ocean-bottom cable (OBC) multicomponent seismic data discussed here were acquired in shallow ...
متن کاملUsing frequency-dependent seismic attributes in imaging of a fractured reservoir zone
Normal reflection from a fractured reservoir is analyzed using frequency-dependent seismic attributes. Processing of 3D low-frequency seismic data from a West-Siberian reservoir produced an accurate delineation of the fractured hydrocarbon-bearing zones. P-wave propagation, reflection and transmission at an impermeable interface between elastic and dual-porosity poroelastic media is investigate...
متن کاملDetection of Fracture Orientation Using Azimuthal Variation of P-wave Avo Responses
Azimuthally-dependent P-wave AVO (amplitude variation with offset) responses can be related to open fracture orientation and have been suggested as a geophysical tool to identify fracture orientation in fractured oil and gas reservoirs. A field experiment recently conducted over a fractured reservoir in the Barinas Basin (Venezuela) provides data for an excellent test of this approach. Three li...
متن کاملEstimation of Flow Zone Indicator Distribution by Using Seismic Data: A Case Study from a Central Iranian Oilfield
Flow unit characterization plays an important role in heterogeneity analysis and reservoir simulation studies. Usually, a correct description of the lateral variations of reservoir is associated with uncertainties. From this point of view, the well data alone does not cover reservoir properties. Because of large well distances, it is difficult to build the model of a heterogenic reservoir, but ...
