Currently advances in seismic data interpretation have been observed, given the quantitative tendency to achieve the determination of reservoir properties. Impedance seismic volumes along with petrophysics allow the characterization of petrophysical properties of rocks for building a reservoir model. The objective of this research was to generate a rock physics model to be used as a liaison for the interpretation of petrophysical properties in terms of the elastic response of a field in the Gulf of Mexico. 7 wells were used, whose reserves are located within the Middle Pleistocene. Petrophysical evaluation was performed and a theoretical model of rock physics was developed in order to synthesize the density, compressional and shear sonic logs, being the self-consistent model, which best reproduced the elastic properties of the rocks in this study. Subsequently, through cross-diagram analysis, the relationships between the elastic properties (P and S impedance, Vp/Vs ratio) and rock properties (porosity, clay content, water saturation) were analyzed. The effect of fluid replacement in the elastic properties was modeled. It is conclude that the synthesized curves provide a better understanding of the influence of petrophysical variables on the elastic properties of the rock, the poroelastic model generated allows discrimination of lithologies present.
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.
