Abstract Seismic data is a main source of information for lateral forecast of lithofacies. No one can deny that seismic data is a useful method to determinate structure of prospects. However, we have to accept to urgent need to implement steps that will make possible to predict distribution of lithofacies. In exploration, the prediction of lithology and fluid properties is a main goal. Popularity and comparative simplicity of inversion, made seismic inversion popular for reservoir characterization. Despite the benefits of method, inability to estimate uncertainty of models, stochastic seismic inversion was inveted. A stochastic seismic inversion combine relationship with varying lithofacies parameters and elastic properties using uncertainty of each data. Additional modification of stochastic seismic inversion is geological constraints allows to exclude not appropriate realization and obtain correct probability model of lithofacies. Comparison of approaches and results on a real set provided from the Tyumen formation in Western Siberia allows to estimate advantages and disadvantages of modification stochastic Seismic inversion.

Seismic reservoir characterization becomes challenging when reservoir thickness goes beyond the limits of seismic resolution. Geostatistical inversion techniques are being considered to overcome the resolution limitations of conventional inversion methods and to provide an intuitive understanding of subsurface uncertainty. Geostatistical inversion was applied on a highly compartmentalized area of Sapphire gas field, offshore Nile Delta, Egypt, with the aim of understanding the distribution of thin sands and their impact on reservoir connectivity. The integration of high-resolution well data with seismic partial-angle-stack volumes into geostatistical inversion has resulted in multiple elastic property realizations at the desired resolution. The multitude of inverted elastic properties are analyzed to improve reservoir characterization and reflect the inversion nonuniqueness. These property realizations are then classified into facies probability cubes and ranked based on pay sand volumes to quantify the volumetric uncertainty in static reservoir modeling. Stochastic connectivity analysis was also applied on facies models to assess the possible connected volumes. Sand connectivity analysis showed that the connected pay sand volume derived from the posterior mean of property realizations, which is analogous to deterministic inversion, is much smaller than the volumes generated by any high-frequency realization. This observation supports the role of thin interbed reservoirs in facilitating connectivity between the main sand units.

This study has been done to map the distribution of gas saturated sandstone reservoir by using stochastic seismic inversion in the “X” field, Bonaparte basin. Bayesian stochastic inversion seismic method is an inversion method that utilizes the principle of geostatistics so that later it will get a better subsurface picture with high resolution. The stages in conducting this stochastic inversion technique are as follows, (i) sensitivity analysis, (ii) well to seismic tie, (iii) picking horizon, (iv) picking fault, (v) fault modeling, (vi) pillar gridding, ( vii) making time structure maps, (viii) scale up well logs, (ix) trend modeling, (x) variogram analysis, (xi) stochastic seismic inversion (SSI). In the process of well to seismic tie, statistical wavelets are used because they can produce good correlation values. Then, the stochastic seismic inversion results show that the reservoir in the study area is a reservoir with tight sandstone lithology which has a low porosity value and a value of High acoustic impedance ranging from 30,000 to 40,000 ft /s*g/cc.

Abstract Seismic resolution plays an important role not only in interpretation and reservoir characterization but also in seismic inversion and seismic attributes analysis. The resolution depends on several factors, including seismic frequency bandwidth, dominant frequency, and layer velocity. This paper presents a spectral resolution enhancement approach that is based on Non-stationary Differential Resolution (NSDR) that honors the local structural dip, better preserves amplitude and improves target-oriented seismic interpretation. The proposed technology is applied to both 2D and 3D seismic volumes and findings are compared with the oil industry common spectral enhancement algorithms. We demonstrate the target-oriented dip steering spectral enhancement method on two 3D field datasets and compare the resulting outcome with those obtained by conventional techniques. It is found that thinly layered subsurface geological features with steeply dipping beds are better defined, with artifacts from the conflicting dips removed.
