Seismic Data Preconditioning for Improved Reservoir Characterization (Inversion and Fracture Analysis)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Advanced seismic techniques such as prestack inversion or azimuthal analysis are now routinely adopted for quantitative reservoir characterization of rock properties and fracture indicators, however the quality of the input seismic data is critical to such advanced analyses. Frequency content, random and coherent noise, amplitude-preserving processing and gather flatness must be addressed at the preconditioning stage. Improved results and increased confidence follow from careful well-driven modeling and QCs.

Amplitude Variation with Offset Inversion Analysis in One of the Western Oilfields of the Persian Gulf
Reservoir characterization has a leading role in the reservoir geophysics and reservoir management. Since the interests of the reservoir geophysics and reservoir managements are the elastic properties and reservoir properties of the subsurface rock for their purposes, a robust method is required for converting seismic data into elastic properties. Accordingly, by employing a rock physics model ...

This study discusses a new workflow for fracture characterization and modeling using geophysical (microseismic and 3D surface seismic) data along with independent reservoir information (such as well logs). The framework is ideally suited for unconventional environments such as shale and tight reservoirs where modern technologies such as the use of hydraulic fracturing and passive seismic monito...

Extensive work has been done in the recent years involving use of conventional and passive seismic data for fracture characterization. This is particularly the case with unconventional reservoirs such as shale gas, shale oil and geothermal fields. The purpose of our study is to combine the benefits of conventional seismic data that provides relatively higher resolution reservoir characteristics...
متن کاملPore throat size characterization of carbonate reservoirs by integrating core data, well logs and seismic attributes
Investigation of pore system properties of carbonate reservoirs has an important role in evaluating the reservoir quality and delineating high production intervals. The current study proposes a three-step approach for pore throat size characterization of these reservoirs, by integrating core data, well logs and 3D seismic volume. In this respect, first the pore throats size was calculated using...
