    Quantitative Reservoir Characterization

    • Advanced
    • classroom1Classroom

    Seismic data is one of the main sources of information on the subsurface. We not only need to obtain the structure that could contain hydrocarbons, but also the rock properties so we can decide on whether we are dealing with reservoir rocks (sandstone, carbonates, even shales), sealing rocks (shales, salt) or source rocks (shales, coals). To know what type of rock is present is important, but also what its porosity is and whether it is fractured, as that is important for permeability (How easy do the hydrocarbons flow through the rocks). Several methods are available. Although multi-component data would be the best, with P-wave data acquired in multi-azimuth and a good offset range, also reservoir properties can be extracted. Although in a marine survey no shear waves can be recorded, it is still possible to obtain information on the shear-wave properties of the subsurface. In the course, various aspects of AVA will be discussed: Rpp, Rps, Rss and variation with azimuth leading to the detection of fracture systems. Also, the use of PS data in combination with PP data shows promising results. And, of course, anisotropy will be an important topic in this course.

    This course can be delivered remotely.

    The course is an advanced one. So, it is aimed at geophysicists, geologists, and reservoir engineers with experience in the industry or if coming from university geophysics courses should have been a major topic.
