SAGD Well Planning Using Stochastic Seismic Inversion

摘要

The complexity of heavy oil geology in SAGD projects, especially the presence of thin shale barriers that are beyond the resolution of traditional seismic data and deterministic seismic inversion; makes the integration of seismic data with geological well data challenging. Stochastic inversion represents an improvement over deterministic inversion as it allows the generation of a large number of equally probable high-frequency models that can be used for uncertainty analysis.
