INVERSE STRATIGRAPHIC MODELING USING A HYBRID LINEAR AND NONLINEAR ALGORITHM

摘要

In a first step, a defined scope value is selected for each of a plurality of hydrodynamic input parameters. A simulated topographical result is generated using the selected scope values and a forward model. A detailed seismic interpretation is generated to represent specific seismic features or observed topography. A calculated a misfit value representing a distance between the simulated topographical result and a detailed seismic interpretation is minimized. An estimated optimized sand ratio and optimized hydrodynamic input parameters are generated. In a second step, a genetic algorithm is used to determine a proportion of each grain size in the estimated optimized sand ratio. A misfit value is used that is calculated from thickness and porosity data extracted from well data and a simulation result generated by the forward model to generate optimized components of different grain sizes. Optimized hydrodynamic input parameters and optimized components of different grain sizes are generated.
