Abstract
Summary The requirement to automate many seismic imaging and interpretation workflows is a key factor in increasing the value of seismic technologies through cost effective democratization with many potential applications. Inversion-based seismic reservoir characterization (SRC) is an established technology that has proven valuable in exploration and production. The inversion of prestack seismic data into lithology units and elastic properties is key to most quantitative interpretation workflows. Recently we have developed a smart, push button technology, which fully automates seismic well tie, inversion and reservoir characterization. The potential benefits are large and affect many parts of the seismic and engineering value chain. Examples include dramatically reducing turnaround time of QI inversion and reservoir property estimation. Generating a tool to provide direct feedback to data processing (DP) practices. Furthermore, having automated procedure to qualify seismic data add robustness to different seismic products and enables the democratization of seismic data to be used by non-seismic experts. The large reduction in the cost of operation together with the potential increase of the user community enables greater return on investment in seismic data.
