SEISMIC INVERSION
Move beyond qualitative seismic interpretation and gain a quantitative understanding of your reservoir. At PANTECH CONSULTANTS, our Seismic Inversion service is a critical step in turning seismic data into a high-resolution, geologically meaningful model. By converting seismic reflection data into rock properties like acoustic and elastic impedance, we provide a direct and quantitative link between your seismic data and the reservoir properties that matter most—porosity, lithology, and fluid content.
A Quantitative Approach to Reservoir Characterization
Our inversion services are designed to provide you with a clearer, more accurate picture of the subsurface. We offer both post-stack and pre-stack inversion workflows, tailored to your specific project goals:
- Post-Stack Inversion: Transforms your seismic amplitude data into an acoustic impedance cube, providing a high-resolution lithology and porosity model that is ideal for identifying reservoir sweet spots and defining gross pay.
- Pre-Stack Inversion: Utilizes pre-stack gather data to predict elastic properties (P-impedance, S-impedance, and Vp/Vs ratio). This advanced technique is crucial for directly predicting fluid content and distinguishing between different rock types with a high degree of confidence.
Our Rigorous Methodology
Our experienced team follows a detailed workflow to ensure reliable and geologically sound results:
- Data Conditioning: We prepare and condition your seismic data to ensure optimal quality for the inversion process.
- Well Log Integration: We meticulously tie seismic data to your well logs, which is a critical step for building a robust low-frequency model and calibrating the final inversion results.
- Inversion & QC: We execute the inversion using industry-leading software and perform rigorous quality control to ensure the accuracy and stability of the final impedance cubes.
- Rock Physics Integration: We use rock physics principles to translate the final impedance volumes into direct predictions of reservoir properties.
