Abstract

Summary

Analysis of time-lapse data is performed on migrated seismic images, which represent the spatial and time-lapse variability of the medium’s reflectivity. The process of migration effectively rotates the wavelet so that it is normal to the imaged reflectors. Processes used in 4D reservoir analysis such as deconvolution, inversion and warping need to follow the structure of the data. The traditional 1D (vertical) convolutional approach does not honour this directivity. For this reason, we introduce a wave equation based approach which provides an effective platform for structurally consistent reservoir analysis. This includes applications such as wavelet extraction, warping and 4D time-strain inversion.
