Interpretation: Fluid and Rock Property Estimation using AVO and Seismic Inversion Workflows

This course guides users through a reservoir characterization workflow which integrates petrophysical analysis, rock physics, AVO analysis, seismic inversion, and powerful 3D visualization
techniques, to identify, visualize and validate hydrocarbon prospects. Users will integrate data from well logs and post- and prestack seismic data using AspenTech tools. A thorough introduction to elastic
wave theory, rock physics, AVO theory, and seismic inversion is presented. In addition, the course includes exercises that integrate 2D modeling (wedge modeling) into the AVO analysis workflow.

Audience:

Geoscientists interested in using log analysis, AVO attributes and seismic inversion to combine information from well data, and poststack and prestack seismic data for prospect identification
