Download or read book Analyzing Reservoir and Overburden Impacts on Seismic and Electromagnetic Responses and the Applicability of Seismic and EM Methods in Deep Water Reservoir Characterization Through Forward and Inverse Modeling written by Anthony Kellogg and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic techniques have been widely used for hydrocarbon exploration. Recently, electromagnetic (EM) methods have drawn great attention in the area of reservoir characterization. However, few efforts have been made to explore the reservoir overburden impacts that affect the reliability of seismic, EM or joint methods for exploration. It is essential for successful reservoir hydrocarbon estimation to identify favorable overburden and reservoir conditions where reservoir fluid saturation can be reliably inferred from seismic data, EM data, or integrated geophysical information. This study evaluates the sensitivity of seismic and electromagnetic (EM) responses to hydrocarbon reservoir and overburden attributes through forward and inverse modeling.^First I generated baseline truth models from well log data, then varied the overburden and reservoir parameters (e.g., target layer thickness, porosity, saturations, etc.) within their physical ranges, producing multiple realistic subsurface models. Next, geophysical (seismic and EM) responses were computed for each model using seismic/EM forward modeling algorithms, and the differences in seismic and EM data between these realistic and baseline models were analyzed. Forward modeling results suggest that EM calculations are sensitive to several factors both in the reservoir and the overburden. Outside the reservoir, EM responses are most sensitive to seawater electrical conductivity, seawater depth and overburden sediment thickness. While among the parameters/properties in the reservoir, EM responses are most sensitive to gas saturations. Seismic data show strong responses to reservoir parameters, most notably to reservoir porosity.^After identifying the significant parameters, regression analyses using generalized linear models were performed and analyzed. Subsequent to exploring the sensitivity of seismic and EM responses to changes in overburden and reservoir parameters/attributes, the applicability of using these datasets for inverse modeling (parameter estimation) was evaluated using a Minimum Relative Entropy-based Bayesian stochastic inversion. Results suggest that estimations of reservoir parameters using high dimensional models can be rather difficult to do with great confidence. It was found that the more prior information available on the overburden unknowns, the closer the posterior estimation of the reservoir parameters will be to the actual values. Results also show that seismic methods are effective in estimating reservoir porosity, while EM has the potential for estimating reservoir saturations.^The integration of both, assuming enough information about the priors are known, has the potential to accurately estimate reservoir parameters presuming enough models are run. Informative prior knowledge about the field site, efficient sampling techniques, reduction of the parameter space, and computing capability are all necessary components for successful geophysical characterization of a petroleum reservoir, given the high dimensionality and non-uniqueness of the inverse problem.
Download or read book Seismic Imaging a Practical Approach written by Jean-Luc Mari and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the geophysics of oil exploration and reservoir studies, the surface seismic method is the most commonly used method to obtain a subsurface model in 2 or 3 dimensions. This method plays an increasingly important role in soil investigations for geotechnical, hydrogeological and site characterization studies regarding seismic hazard issues. The goal of this book is to provide a practical guide, using examples from the field, to the application of seismic methods to surface imaging. After reviewing the current state of knowledge in seismic wave propagation, refraction and reflection seismic methods, the book aims to describe how seismic tomography and fullwave form inversion methods can be used to obtain seismic images of the subsurface. Through various synthetic and field examples, the book highlights the benefit of combining different sets of data: refracted waves with reflected waves, and body waves with surface waves. With field data targeting shallow structures, it shows how more accurate geophysical models can be obtained by using the proposed hybrid methods. Finally, it shows how the integration of seismic data (3D survey and VSP), logging data (acoustic logging) and core measurements, combined with a succession of specific and advanced processing techniques, enables the development of a 3D high resolution geological model in depth. In addition to these examples, the authors provide readers with guidelines to carry out these operations, in terms of acquisition, as well as processing and interpretation. In each chapter, the reader will find theoretical concepts, practical rules and, above all, actual application examples. For this reason, the book can be used as a text to accompany course lectures or continuing education seminars. This book aims to promote the exchange of information among geologists, geophysicists, and engineers in geotechnical fields.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this research is to apply several seismic processing and imaging techniques to a raw 3D-land dataset and examine the quality of the subsurface images. This study uses a 3D-seismic dataset in the Thrace region of northwest Turkey that was acquired by Turkish Petroleum in 2006 covering an area of approximately 146 km2. This region is primarily a gas-rich zone with drilling operations starting in the 1970s and demand continuing even now. The target zone in the region is Upper Oligocene Osmancik deltaic sandstone and minor shale. The region developed as a fore-arc basin during medial Eocene to Oligocene time. The thickness of the basin-fill deposits is estimated to be up to 9 km deep. This work applied conventional seismic data processing and imaging techniques. Kirchhoff pre-stack time and depth migration are used. Tomography approach was used to refine the velocities to get the final interval velocity. Having the final interval velocity, reverse-time migration was used. The tomographic velocity analysis was successful in yielding an accurate interval velocity. After application of all these imaging methods, I found that the RTM gave the best image of the subsurface. I was able to estimate the hydrocarbon reservoir at 1500 - 2200 m. The shot pattern used for this survey for station and shot distances along the receiver and shot lines may be too large for the purpose of imaging at this depth.
