Seismic Inversion

Seismic inversion utilizes the principals provided by Karl Zoepprit in 1919 to transform the seismic amplitudes into blocks of impedances at a defined time sampling interval. These inverted data can be related to the reservoir properties using the rock physics models that were built in the previous chapters. Most Inversions into absolute impedance rely on well data, so they are usually carried out in the reservoir appraisal and development phases of the reservoir life cycle.

 

At EREX we utilize the latest technologies in the market to deliver high end seismic inversion results that are guided by detailed rock physics analysis, that include:

  1. Seismic lithofacies
  2. Seismic porositiy
  3. Fluid cubes

To achieve this, we posses all the industry standard inversion algorithms, that include pre- and post stack seismic data inversion, deterministic and stochastic seismic inversion algorithms.

High resolution seismic inversion
High resolution seismic inversion for lateral facies variations

Using High resolution seismic poststack or prestack geostatistical seismic inversion can detect even the subtle lateral lithofacies variations even below seismic resolution

 
Pre-stack seismic lithofacies classification
3D seismic lithofacies extraction

Prestack seismic data inversion can be used for detailed lithofacies classification, that can help in reservoir connectivity and sedimentological modeling of a hydrocarbon field.
