ENERGY 141

Seismic Reservoir Characterization (ENERGY 241, GEOPHYS 241A)

UNITS:3-4
GRADING:Letter or Credit/No Credit
LEVEL:Undergrad
GER:—

(Same as GP 241) Practical methods for quantitative characterization and uncertainty assessment of subsurface reservoir models integrating well-log and seismic data. Multidisciplinary combination of rock-physics, seismic attributes, sedimentological information and spatial statistical modeling techniques. Student teams build reservoir models using limited well data and seismic attributes typically available in practice, comparing alternative approaches. Software provided (SGEMS, Petrel, Matlab). Offered every other year.
