HR-275 HampsonRussell Basic Seismic Reservoir Characterization Workshop

Audience

Geoscientists, explorationists, and those wanting to understand the theory behind essential reservoir characterization techniques

Content

This course covers the theory and practical use of STRATA, AVO, LithoSI and RockSI interactive
programs that are fully linked to the HRS suite of software

• Seismic Inversion - Provides a detailed overview of current seismic inversion methods
• AVO Modeling & Analysis - Provides a comprehensive look at the theory and application of the AVO
method
• Rock Physics Modeling and Facies Probability Analysis – Provides an introduction to interactive rock physics
modeling to construct robust elastic property logs for seismic inversion, and supervised Bayesian
classification technique to predict facies probabilities from combinations of inverted elastic properties

Learning Objectives

• Covers both pre-stack and post-stack inversion
