Abstract
Traditionally
,
reservoir
characterization
is
limited
to the
inadequate
frequency
content
of
surface
seismic
data
and the
poor
spatial
sampling
of
borehole
data
for
detecting
metre-scale
heterogeneities
affecting
fluid
flow.
Cross-well
seismic
data
can
provide
the
spatial
and
temporal
resolution
necessary
for
imaging
these
reservoir
features.
Three
synthetic
cross-well
seismic
datasets
are
created
using
velocity
models
that
simulate
lithologic
detail
and
reservoir
heterogeneities
at the
metre-scale.
The
first
model
is
derived
from an
outcrop
study
of a
deltaic
depositional
environment
, and the
second
and
third
models
are
developed
from
offshore
well
log
data.
Statistical
analysis
of the
lateral
spatial
properties
of the
high
resolution
seismic
depth
images
produced
from the
models
provides
estimates
of the
lateral
correlation
length
and the
fractal
dimension.
The
results
display
a
unique
distribution
of
spatial
properties
for
each
model
,
indicating
that
different
types
of
reservoir
heterogeneity
result
in
distinctive
statistics
that are
captured
by the
seismic
data.
These
estimates
can
be
used
to
provide
high
resolution
constraints
on
reservoir
heterogeneity
that
can
be
built
into
reservoir
simulations.
