Seismic Inversion -- A Critical Tool in Reservoir Characterization
Scandinavian Oil-Gas Magazine
The principle objective of seismic inversion is to transform seismic reflection data into a quantitative rock property, descriptive of the reservoir. In its most simple form, acoustic impedance logs are computed at each CMP. Compared to seismic ampitudes, inversions show higher resolution and support more accurate interpretations.

Five Areas Key to Reservoir Modeling
The American Oil & Gas Reporter
Deepwater reservoirs pose significant challenges to companies exploring and producing those reservoirs because of the high exploration, development and production costs. Great uncertainty and risk attend the evalutation of deepwater reservoirs because of the environment, sparse well control, and lack of direct measurement of reservoir properties. Proper modeling of deepwater reservoirs provides companies with tools to evaluate the reservoirs and quantify risks associated with their development. Read how Devon Energy leveraged Fugro-Jason technology.

High Resolution Brings New Insight Into Connectivity, Reservoir Size, Sand Quality
Offshore Magazine (View only version; contact us for a hardcopy)
By using a novel approach that ties pre-stack seismic and well log data, our team has built a uniquely detailed 3D model of Anadarko’s Marco Polo ﬁeld, leading to a better understanding of the vertical and lateral extent as well as the quality of the reservoir. The new technique yielded a four-fold gain in vertical resolution, and this crispness enabled us to identify additional features associated with the seismic anomalies, such as small faults and lateral changes in sand quality. For Anadarko, the value extends far beyond the Marco Polo ﬁeld to other holdings where the method can be used to reduce reservoir development risk and improve drilling and production programs.

Reduction Of Field Development And Drilling Costs By Using Integrated Modeling
Integrating the seismic data more effectively may offer the next step change in risk reduction and therefore affect economic field evaluation and impact. Fugro-Jason presents a methodology on how the data and model differences might be addressed in order to more accurately define the subsurface geology using all available field information.

Summary: FORCE Seminar: Fluid and Lithology Prediction from Seismic, the current status
National Petroleum Directorate
Emerging approaches to inverting for the “third term” or a density term in addition to compressional and shear velocity emphasized the importance of anisotropic processing. Peter Mesdag of Fugro-Jason gave an excellent introduction to the theoretical aspects of resolving for the third term.

The Quest for the Third Term
National Petroleum Directorate
Simultaneous Inversion of multiple seismic offset or angle stacks has shown on many occasions to produce reliable information on Acoustic Impedance and Shear Impedance. In this paper we will show that recovery of Density as an independent parameter from surface seismic data can only be achieved under certain conditions.

Geosciences
Oil & Gas Journal
Oil fields deplete, but most have significant oil reserves remaining, trapped in the rock pores. There are many older "depleted" fields that could still add reserves to the world economy if more cost effective thinking were applied.
