A NEW APPROACH TO SEISMIC RESERVOIR CHARACTERISATION

The technology portfolio of Delft Inversion creates a number of opportunities to operators of oil&gas, geothermal and CO2 storage projects. While we are driven by innovation, translating technology into economic value is of vital importance to us.

By solving the wave-equation, multiples, mode conversions and transmission effects are properly handled over the inversion interval and consequently, WEB-AVO becomes the seismic reservoir characterisation tool with the most realistic physical data model. The seismic reservoir community does not longer have to rely on simplifications of seismic wave-propagation as primary reflections only and convolutional data models.

 

Another truly unique feature of WEB-AVO is its parameterisation. While conventional techniques translate seismic data into impedances and Vp/Vs volumes, WEB-AVO directly solves for compressibility (inverse of bulk modulus) and shear compliance (inverse of shear modulus). It turns out that these parameters are three times more sensitive to changes in lithology and pore fluids (oil, gas, brine) and this improved discrimination power gives you a real head-start for your QI challenges to be addressed.
