4D Dynamic Reservoir Characterization

Catalog description

Description: This course will utilize case studies to introduce participants to the art of interpreting time-lapse (4-D) multicomponent (9-C) seismic in terms of dynamic changes in rock properties. The modeling and interpretation techniques taught in this course can be applied to any porous subsurface system where fluid injection or extraction processes cause changes in the elastic subsurface rock properties. Knowledge gained can be transferred to examine systems such as carbon storage, geothermal, wastewater disposal, and heavy oil extraction.
