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 ...

this paper proposes a method for the prediction of pore size values in hydrocarbon reservoirs using 3d seismic data. to this end, an actual carbonate oil field in the south-western part ofiranwas selected. taking real geological conditions into account, different models of reservoir were constructed for a range of viable pore size values.  seismic surveying was performed next on these models. f...

Reservoir characterization plays an important role in different parts of an industrial project. The results from a reservoir characterization study give insight into rock and fluid properties which can optimize the choice of drilling locations and reduce risk and uncertainty. Delineating hydrocarbon bearing zones within a reservoir is the main objective of any seismic reservoir characterization...

Stochastic seismic inversion is an important part of geostatistical method, and the combination sequence simulation. In process random inversion, firstly, histogram distribution variables counted, variation function calculated, range in different directions determined. Then, for each implementation, traces are synthesized at channel position according to calculated reflection coefficient, error...

Seismic inversion algorithms have been playing a key role in the characterization of oil and gas reservoirs, where a high accuracy is often required to support the decision about the optimal well locations. Since these algorithms usually rely on computer simulations that generate, process and store significant amounts of data, their usage is often limited by their long execution times. In fact,...

Seismic inversion is an established approach to model the geophysical characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs, being one of the basis of the decision making process in the oil&gas exploration industry. However, the required accuracy levels can only be attained by dealing and processing significant amounts of data, often leading to consequently long execution times. To overcome this issue and ...

Shear-wave velocity ( ) is an important parameter used for site characterization in geotechnical engineering. However, dispersion curve inversion is challenging for most inversion methods due to its high non-linearity and mix-determined trait. In order to overcome these problems, in this study, a joint inversion strategy is proposed based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The ...
