Modern Reservoir Characterization : Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Traditional Methods
During this workshop, participants will develop a more comprehensive grasp of the geophysical theory of seismic inversion and explore advanced seismic reservoir characterization techniques. Discover the essential steps in the seismic reservoir characterization workflow using machine learning, covering data processing to inversion analysis. Acquire valuable knowledge applicable to your everyday projects.In classical reservoir characterization, it is commonly assumed that the reservoir exhibits both elastic and hydraulic isotropy. However, real reservoirs often exhibit anisotropic characteristics and spatial heterogeneity on multiple scales. Relying solely on core and log data may not accurately represent the larger reservoir volume. Therefore, the most effective way to accurately analyze the physical properties of most actual reservoirs, across their entire volume, involves utilizing advanced machine learning methods for acquired and interpreted seismic data.
