eHR-245 HampsonRussell LithoSI & Emerge Virtual Workshop

Audience

Geophysicists, geologists, engineers and technical staff who want to understand the theory and learn how to apply these increasingly critical techniques.

Content

LithoSI is a relatively new, interactive package which complements our very successful Emerge software. Together with Emerge, they both allow the transformation of seismic volumes and/or elastic attributes (from Strata and/or AVO) to geological or reservoir properties such as facies, saturation and porosity. Note that in this one-day workshop, we will not cover all of the material in our standard LithoSI and Emerge workshop.

Learning Objectives

• Basic introduction to Bayesian classification, multivariate Probability Density Functions (PDFs) and their optimization, Kernel Density Estimation (LithoSI)
• Teaches the theory and application of linear and multi-linear regression in well log prediction and seismic lithology classification (Emerge)
• Practical exercises comprise 65% of the unit content
• LithoSI: Defining litho-classes, selecting attributes, optimizing PDFs, validating the results, volume application
• Emerge: Combining optimal attributes to predict volumes of log data from seismic, crossvalidation techniques, volume application, predicting logs from logs
