Geostatistical seismic rock physics AVA inversion predicts rock and fluid properties iteratively by updating the rock physics model, overcoming limitations of calibration and well-log data.
Geostatistical seismic rock physics amplitude-versus-angle (AVA) inversion allows the joint prediction of rock and fluid properties from seismic reflection data. In these seismic inversion methods, the model perturbation and update occur iteratively in the petrophysical domain. A facies-dependent precalibrated rock physics model is applied to the simulated rock properties to calculate elastic properties. Synthetic seismic reflection data are computed from these elastic models. The rock physics models are calibrated at the well locations and act as the link between the rock and the elastic domains, remaining unchanged during the inversion procedure: the convergence of the inversion and the geological plausibility of the inverted rock property models depend on the quality of the calibration and available well-log data. To overcome this limitation, account for calibration errors and geological scenarios not sampled at the well locations, we introduce an iterative geostatistical seismic AVA inversion where the elastic predictions from a facies-dependent precalibrated rock physics model are updated iteratively, based on the mismatch between observed and synthetic data. We assume an initial priori uncertainty in the rock physics model and update it iteratively based on the data mismatch. The proposed method is applied in a 1-D synthetic example to illustrate the concept and validate the method. Then, we apply the inversion method to a 3-D real data set. In this application, we use a blind well to assess locally the performance of the technique. The results show that the parameters of space exploration is not compromised by the rock physics model & x2019;s uncertainty.
