oa Seismic Characterization of Tight Gas Reservoirs; An Integrated Approach

Many hydrocarbon reservoirs such as tight gas sands composed of low porosity (1%-10%) and microdarcy-scale matrix permeability (1-60μD). Such reservoirs unless they are naturally and heavily fractured are hard to develop without proper stimulation. Simulation of the reservoir is directly driven by reservoir geological and geomechanical properties. Hence, it is important to characterize the reservoir not only in terms of reservoir matrix properties but also fracture and mechanical properties.
