IKON SCIENCE: ROKDOC JI-FI

摘要

Since the introduction of 3-D seismic data for hydrocarbon exploration, geoscientists have looked to create robust reservoir models from seismic. "Seismic inversion" evolved to realize this goal, but results often were unreliable. It was realized that rock physics relationships, typically different per rock type, were not used adequately in existing methods. A collaboration between Ikon Science Ltd., Tullow Oil Plc and CSIRO successfully addressed these limitations. Using a geology-centric approach, RokDoc Ji-Fi integrates regional geological prior information in the inversion of seismic data. The result: quantitative predictions of rocks and fluids, a step change in delivered value.
