Broadband acquisition and processing technology has revolutionized seismic acquisition and interpretation. The revolution is not complete however, as we continue to explore how broadband can affect our efforts towards reservoir characterization. In particular, we see the ultimate benefits for reservoir properties with unprecedented bandwidth and accuracy through simultaneous AVO inversion. When performing inversion on broadband seismic data there are some particular properties that need to be considered in different steps of the process. Additionally, careful thought has to be given on how to use inversion QC's to indicate the value of broadband seismic in the inversion stage. We will show some results from our initial experiences in this area.
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.
