C048 4D Seismic Physical Simulator: Innovative Monitoring of Pore Network Fluid Flooding under X-ray Tomography 1 ALBERTO F. MARSALA 1 AND MARTIN LANDRØ 2 1 Eni S.p.A E&P div.– Milan Italy 2 Dep. Of Petroleum Engineering and Appl. Geophysics NTNU Trondheim Norway Abstract A new methodology is proposed that might be integrated into the more conventional rock physics workflow to calibrate the petro-elastic model for time lapsed seismic interpretation; this methodology is valuable especially when partial saturations and complex fluid fronts are expected in the pore network of a reservoir. A laboratory equipment specially designed for 4D seismic studies has
