The purpose of this article was to generate and compare seismic modeling results with real vertical seismic profiling data (VSP data) based on Dipole Shear Imager (DSI) data in the reservoir zone (Kangan and upper Dalan Formations) of a well in South Pars gas field. Estimation of shear wave velocity (Vs) and density for layers above the reservoir zone, for which; DSI data did not exist, was also done by the applied modeling method to estimate elastic parameters of the layers. In this method, modeling for X-component of the VSP survey was run by utilizing the DSI data set of reservoir zone and the VSP survey report of the studied well with high precision. Computed results for the proposed modeling method led to achieving highly accurate, close to the reality of VSP model around the studied well. According to compression wave velocity (VP) attained from VSP survey reports of the well and Vp/Vs ratio obtained from Dipole Shear Imager (DSI), modeling was done. Afterward, shear wave velocity (Vs) for upper layers of reservoir zone estimated with high precision, then density and elastic moduli for the above layers and the reservoir zone were calculated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
