in exploration seismology, estimation of elastic parameters of rocks using seismic amplitudes is considered as inverse problems. nowadays, model-based and more generally optimization-based algorithms are of the most common methods of seismic inversion. these algorithms which are known as deterministic methods, are suffering from two main problems; first, vertical resolution of outputs is very l...

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 ...

The method of simultaneous PP-PS inversion has recently been developed and tested on the 3-D Blackfoot seismic data set. This paper shows the application of this method on 3C-2D seismic data from Pikes Peak oilfield. The inversion was accomplished with a newly installed inversion module in ProMAX. After careful prestack processing, five limitedoffset stacked sections for each of the vertical an...

In this tutorial, I present an overview of the techniques that are in use for prestack seismic amplitude analysis, current and historical. I show that these techniques can be classified as being based on the computation and analysis of either some type of seismic reflection coefficient series or seismic impedance. Those techniques that are based on the seismic reflection coefficient series, or ...

seismic tomography is an imaging technique which creates maps of subsurface elastic properties such as p/s wave velocity, density and attenuation, based on observed seismograms and use of sophisticated inversion algorithms. amongst different acquisition geometries, seismic cross-hole tomography has a special position in geophysical surveys with many applications in hydrocarbons, coal and other ...

Stochastic seismic inversion is a family of inversion algorithms in which the inverse solution was carried out using geostatistical simulation. In this work, a new 3D stochastic seismic inversion was developed in the MATLAB programming software. The proposed inversion algorithm is an iterative procedure that uses the principle of cross-over genetic algorithms as the global optimization techniqu...

In exploration geophysics, seismic impedance is a physical characteristic parameter of underground formations. It can mark rock characteristics and help stratigraphic analysis. Hence, data inversion for key technology in oil gas reservoir prediction. To invert from data, one perform reflectivity series first. Then, under simple exponential integration transformation, the inverted give final imp...

The study aims to implement a high-resolution Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI) inversion estimate the petrophysical properties (e.g., porosity, saturation and volume of shale) from seismic well log data. resolves pitfall basic EEI in inverting below-tuning resolution, dimensionality absolute value are improved by employing stochastic perturbation constrained integrated energy spectra attribute ...
