Basic Seismic Inversion Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
The course goal is to help interpreters of AVO data to avoid the avoidable and beware of the pitfalls that are incumbent with this method. Successes and failures of AVO analysis are studied. Successful AVO examples reveal the potential of this technique in finding new opportunities in a mature area.
Who Should Attend?
Geophysicist, geologist, petroleum/reservoir engineers or managers who need a strong knowledge on seismic reservoir characterization using seismic inversion technique
Course Outlines:
- Basic Principles of Seismic Inversion and Its role in reservoir characterization, problem sets
- Theory on development geophysics, integrated reservoir management, seismic reservoir characterization, role of seismic inversion in reservoir characterization, etc.
- Recursive inversion and geological constraint model development, problem sets Theory on the consideration of seismic data
- Acquisition-processing and seismic stratigraphy in seismic inversion, recursive inversion, building a geological constraint model: reservoir delineation
- Model-Based and Sparse-Spike Inversion, application for thin beds, problem sets
- Theory on model-based inversion: constrained inversion, numerical examples (seismic trace, well log constraint), sparse-spike inversion: maximum likelihood deconvolution and inversion, the LI norm method, etc.
- Basic Theory of AVO, problem sets
- Theory: Rock physics basis, Zoeppritz equation, the approximation to Zoeppritz equation, AVO modeling, AVO classification, AVO gradient, and intercept, etc.
- AVO for DHI Identification and reservoir characterization
- Theory: AVO cross-plots, the calibration of AVO cross-plotting to rock properties, AVO attributes, AVO inversion, 3-D AVO modeling, and analysis Problem sets
