SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE APPLICATION OF ELASTIC PROPRIETARY CONSTRAINTS TO THE MODELING OF THE SUBTERRANEAN SURFACE PETROLEASTIC RESERVOIR

摘要

An information processing system (212) having a processor (304) and a memory device (306) coupled to the processor (304), wherein the memory device (306) includes a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor (304), causes the processor (304) to receive a multidimensional grid of acoustic or elastic impedances (120) determined from seismic survey data associated with a subterranean formation (202) to be received elastic property data which describes elastic property characteristics used to sort the pseudo-components, and wherein the respective pseudo-components are formed of a combination of at least two lithologies. The instructions, when executed by the processor (304), further cause the processor (304) to define selected design variables using the impedance networks (120), perform optimization operations. (412) for optimizing selected design variables by applying the elastic property data as part of a constitutive relationship, and producing a pseudo-component distribution (180) for characterizing volumetric concentrations of spatially grouped lithologies in a volume controlling the underground formation (202).
