A-32 FROM PICTURES TO PROPERTIES SYMBIOSIS OF PETROPHYSICS AND GEOPHYSICS M. PEETERS Colorado School of Mines 1500 Illinois street Golden CO 80401 USA ABSTRACT 1 Petrophysics and Geophysics have not always worked in the past as closely together as one might expect. This paper discusses current advances and sketches future developments. The major objective of Geophysical Research was to obtain sharper pictures. With the advent of 3-D seismic there is a strong trend to make displays both in time and depth and to convert seismic attributes into rock properties. Conversions based on seismic data alone give non-unique results due to
