Seismic Interpretation for Static & Dynamic Modelling:

 

For static modeling, any geophysical methods that can delineate the reservoir, estimate the lithology, porosity, or fluid content; or estimate the relative depth of the reservoir to the fluid contacts are of particular importance. Seismic AVO and flat-spot methods, acoustic and elastic inversion, and depth conversion are but some of the clear examples of geophysical technologies used in static modeling.

​

For dynamic modeling, 4D seismic is now a proven technology, and can help not only in reservoir management but also directly in reserves estimation. Experience tells us that all these methods sometimes work really well and sometimes not, depending on geological setting and production history. Integration of geophysical and geological analyses results with available production data is necessary to estimate reserves. It is therefore important and up to the individual companies to justify that given technologies are reliable in the context they
