DeliveryMassager - Propagating Seismic Inversion Information into Reservoir Flow Models

We present a new open-source program for the integration of stochastic seismic inversion information generated from the freeware Bayesian seismic inversion tool Delivery (Gunning and Glinsky 2004) with reservoir simulation models commonly used in modeling and flow-simulation packages. This modeling tool is able to integrate the full range of complex knowledge inferable from probabilistic seismic inversion with auxiliary geological and petrophysical information to produce an integrated model; a process we call massaging. The major innovative achievement of this code is the synthesis of multi-layer multi-property correlations inferable by the inversion with the transverse correlations induced by geological processes. The massaged model(s) are then directly suitable for uncertainty studies of volumetrics, scenarios explorations, or fluid recovery risking.
