Interpretation of Elastic Inversion Results Using Rock Physics Templates

E-17 INTERPRETATION OF ELASTIC INVERSION RESULTS USING ROCK PHYSICS TEMPLATES Abstract 1 Rock physics interpretation of well log and seismic data is usually carried out by rock physics specialists. In this paper we introduce rock physics templates that provide geoscientists with a “toolbox” of models for efficient lithology and pore fluid interpretation of well log data and elastic inversion results. The templates include rock physics models of Vp/Vs ratio vs. acoustic impedance (AI) for different lithologies and depths (i.e. pressure). The templates are made for specific sedimentary basins or areas in order to account for local or regional geological parameters
