Seismic-driven reservoir characterization

摘要

New tools allow the geoscientist to effectively and efficiently make use of multi-dimensional data in the search for new reservoirs or in the optimum depletion of existing ones. The ultimate goals of seismic reservoir characterization are to identify reservoirs, delineate them and determine the distribution of their relevant properties, such as lithology and porosity, which will provide an early determination of the reservoir's economic potential. A typical reservoir characterization project using seismic data and well data is subject to continuous processes of transformation, calibration and interpretation and is often refined through iterations over each of them. Proper selection and application of these processes contribute to the accuracy of property determinations and to the success of the project.
