Closing the reservoir gap - Seismic interpretation tools haven't kept pace with acquisition and processing improvements. That's about to change

摘要

With exploration and production (E&P) trends towards smaller and more complex reservoirs, there is an urgent need for technology supporting more detailed reservoir understanding. The integration dilemma for reservoir modeling has historically been how to reconcile well-based measurements, having high vertical resolution and poor spatial resolution, with seismic data, having good spatial resolution but poorer vertical resolution. Recent advances in seismic technology are changing the dynamics of this relationship, providing hope for increasing the fidelity of our reservoir models.
