Geostatistical inversion transforms subsurface understanding across the Americas
Four recent case studies document how an advanced seismic inversion workflow, which integrates geoscience data, enables operators to enhance their reservoir characterization interpretation. Graham Spence, Bertrand Six, Mark Letizia, Ekaterina Kneller, CGG
As the oil and gas industry further seeks to reduce near-field exploration and development risk, CGG has seen an increase in operators applying geostatistical seismic inversion technologies to their reservoir units to further enhance subsurface understanding. The challenges they face are unique to the individual basins, but they nevertheless share a common aim of deriving additional reservoir characterization information from seismic data and an assessment of the uncertainty.
