This book provides an accessible guide to using the rock
physics-based forward modeling approach for mapping the subsurface,
systematically linking rock properties to seismic amplitude.
Providing practical workflows, the book shows how to methodically
vary lithology, porosity, rock type, and pore fluids and reservoir
geometry, calculate the corresponding elastic properties, and then
generate synthetic seismic traces. These synthetic traces can then
be compared to actual seismic traces from the field: a similar
actual seismic response implies similar rock properties in the
subsurface. The book catalogs various cases, including clastic
sediments, carbonates, and time-lapse seismic monitoring, and
discusses the effect of attenuation on seismic reflections. It
shows how to build earth models (pseudo-wells) using deterministic
and statistical approaches, and includes case studies based on real
well data. A vital guide for researchers and petroleum geologists,
in industry and academia, providing sample catalogs of synthetic
seismic reflections from a variety of realistic reservoir models.
Responding to the latest developments in rock physics research,
this popular reference book has been thoroughly updated while
retaining its comprehensive coverage of the fundamental theory,
concepts, and laboratory results. It brings together the vast
literature from the field to address the relationships between
geophysical observations and the underlying physical properties of
Earth materials - including water, hydrocarbons, gases, minerals,
rocks, ice, magma and methane hydrates. This third edition includes
expanded coverage of topics such as effective medium models,
viscoelasticity, attenuation, anisotropy, electrical-elastic cross
relations, and highlights applications in unconventional
reservoirs. Appendices have been enhanced with new materials and
properties, while worked examples (supplemented by online datasets
and MATLAB (R) codes) enable readers to implement the workflows and
models in practice. This significantly revised edition will
continue to be the go-to reference for students and researchers
interested in rock physics, near-surface geophysics, seismology,
and professionals in the oil and gas industries.
