We introduce a new open-source program for transforming inversion data from the open-source Delivery seismic inversion software to industry-standard cornerpoint grid formats suitable for reservoir modelling and flow simulations. The seismic inversion data produced by Delivery is an array of trace-local stochastic samples from a Bayesian posterior distribution of reservoir layer parameters, whic...

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...

the direct way to access the petrophysical property of hydrocarbon reservoir is based on well data but due to its high cost, the seismic data has been used to obtain these parameters. for this purpose, many different methods are available and each has its own advantages and limitations. from these methods the seismic inversion is the best tool to study the reservoir characterization. the outcom...

We introduce a new open-source toolkit for model-based Bayesian seismic inversion called Delivery. The prior model in Delivery is a trace–local layer stack, with rock physics information taken from log analysis and layer times initialised from picks. We allow for uncertainty in both the fluid type and saturation in reservoir layers: variation in seismic responses due to fluid effects are taken ...

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 ...

Seismic waveform inversion aims at obtaining detailed estimates of subsurface medium parameters, such as the spatial distribution of soundspeed, from multi-experiment seismic data. A formulation of this inverse problem in the frequency-domain leads to an optimization problem constrained by a Helmholtz equation with many right-hand-sides. Application of this technique to industry-scale problem f...

this paper describes a methodology for the integration of well logs and a series of grid-based attributes extracted from interpreted seismic data for prediction of porosity distributions. the studied area is located in the southwest iran. before finding a relationship between the target logs and predicted logs from 3d seismic data, we have interpreted the 3d seismic data in the studied area. al...

Information about reservoir properties usually comes from two sources: seismic data and well logs. The former provide an indirect, low resolution image of rock velocity and density. The latter provide direct, high resolution (but laterally sparse) sampling of these and other rock parameters. An important problem in reservoir characterization is how best to combine these data sets, allowing the ...
