Seismic Attributes Used For Reservoir Simulation: Application to a Heavy Oil Reservoir In Canada

First, the top and the base of the reservoir were mapped based on several seismic attribute volumes that include the density. From petrophysical analysis we learned that density is a key physical property in differentiating between sand and shale within the oil sands. Probabilistic neural network (PNN) analysis was used to derive the relationship between density log data and external attributes (PP and PS migrated stacks, AVO attributes and inversion results).
