Caracterização do reservatório Marlim por inversão acústica

Abstract

Exploracionists has great interest in turbidite systems, since these generally comprise prolific exploration plays. However, these potential reservoirs are often near or below seismic resolution. Thus, the inversion process is important to integrate the seismic data quality of the resolution obtained from its preconditioning, so that the end result has detailed characteristics of the layers. The preconditioning enables improved resolution of seismic data, through mitigation of random noise. As the final goal, the inversion was performed acoustic post stack seismic data, migrated time, to a system of turbidites in Campos Basin. The main purpose of seismic inversion is to transform the given reflection in quantitative petrophysical properties. The inversion for acoustic impedance is commonly used to predict porosity. The flow of the proposed work was divided into five main stages: pre-conditioning the seismic 3D data, well-tie correlation, construction of the model of low frequency, inversion of data and estimation of porosity. The results showed that the inverted acoustic impedance cube has much higher resolution compared to the seismic amplitude data, allowing greater visualization of geological features in the Marlim Field. Besides its limitations as ignoring the effects of changing the fluid and complex lithological variations on the relationship porosity / impedance, the method provides a reliable tool for seismic exploration. More precise details of petrophysical properties can be obtainedthrough inversion methods starting from sophisticated pre-stack data.
