Abstract
Interest in reservoir characterization continues to grow as emphasis within the petroleum industry shifts from exploration to improved recovery of existing fields with complicated heterogeneity, to contact mobile oil unrecovered or bypassed by previous injection procedures. The optimization of production using advanced secondary recovery programmes is critically dependent upon the detection of reservoir bodies, together with the distribution, alignment and density of heterogeneities on a variety of scales. Seismic measurements are of value in inferring spatial variability, using various assorted attributes derived from the wavefield, such as impedance, instantaneous phase and instantaneous frequency.
