From seismic interpretation to reservoir model: an integrated study accounting for the structural complexity of the Vienna Basin using an unstructured reservoir grid
Authors Caroline Milliotte and Stephan MatthäiCaroline Milliotte and Stephan K. Matthäi show how a former structurally complex oil reservoir that is evaluated as a geological CO2 storage complex, can be modelled at a very high level of geological detail using a new workflow involving unstructured finite element meshes. The resulting simulation model includes discrete representations of complex intersecting faults.

Multi-component seismic monitoring of CO2 injection at Delhi Field, Louisiana
Authors John Bishop Jr. and Thomas DavisTime-lapse seismic often gives field wide information about fluid and pressure changes in a producing reservoir. The Reservoir Characterization Project at the Colorado School of Mines has collected two multi-component time-lapse seismic surveys over Delhi Field, Louisiana, USA to monitor CO2 injection into a producing oil reservoir. Multi-component time-lapse seismic data with good repeatability, coupled with rock physics modelling, has led to successful monitoring and interpretation of fluid and pressure changes in the reservoir interval. The combination of P and PS-wave amplitude changes, along with time-shift attributes, gives a clear picture of CO2 effectively sweeping the reservoir at Delhi Field, but also shows that large pressure changes in the western portion of the field have an effect on overburden layers.

A bridge between geophysics and digital music – applications to hydrocarbon exploration
More LessThis paper will present a novel approach of geophysical data analysis and interpretation based on combination of imaging techniques with new types of sound attributes. These are extracted from the geophysical data through analysis of their frequency spectrum and applying specific format transformations. Using real examples the paper will show inedited applications of this approach in the field of hydrocarbon exploration. In particular, the paper will show how musical and rhythmic patterns can support detection and classification of important seismic signals, including gas filled channels, faults and stratigraphic features.
