The Quantitative Seismic Interpretation demonstrates the application of rock physics principles, in estimating reservoir characteristics such, as lithologies and pore fluids using attributes derived from data. The authors provide an integrated methodology and practical tools for uncertainty assessment and characterization of subsurface reservoirs using well-log and seismic data.
They illustrate the advantages of these new methodologies, while providing advice about limitations of the methods and traditional pitfalls. “Quantitative Seismic Interpretation” targets graduate students, academics, and industry professionals in petroleum geoscience and exploration seismology. It will also interest environmental geophysicists seeking a quantitative subsurface characterization from shallow seismic data.
This book serves as a vital reference for those engaged in petroleum geoscience and exploration seismology. This comprehensive book illustrates how to predict reservoir parameters like lithologies and pore fluids by applying rock physics to seismically derived attributes. It targets graduate students, academics, and industry professionals, offering valuable insights to enhance reservoir characterization and exploration in petroleum geoscience and exploration seismology.
