Seismic Modeling


By creating seismic models, the interpreter forges an understanding of the acoustic response of the reservoir. This involves:

  • Building "end-member" reservoir models from petrophysical rock and fluid types.
  • Computing seismic responses for each model.
  • Varying the reservoir thickness within each model to understand tuning effects.

    Flow-unit seismic expressions are modeled and understood at this stage.
