ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF INTERWELL SEISMIC LOGGING TECHNIQUES FOR HYDROCARBON RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION

The oil and gas industry is presently emphasizing the production and recovery of established reserves rather than exploration of new fields. This has brought into focus the need for a better understanding of reservoir rock properties and geologic structures. Of particular interest are factors that directly affect the distribution of the reservoir fluids, namely the permeability of the rock and the presence and locations of fractures and impermeable boundaries that channel or constrain the movement of fluids. A new conceptual extension of sonic logging is offered in this project for specific application in heterogeneous reservoirs. This concept is one of interval seismic logging which is made possible by the prevalence of the relatively large number of wells located in the reservoir. In this application, high resolution seismic transmission measurements between a pair of boreholes can provide information equivalent to a seismic section which uniquely is oriented in the plane of the boreholes. These interval seismic data is analyzed to determine various petrophysical properties of the reservoir under investigation.
