Fluid prediction versus lithology prediction from inverted seismic data

As a result of continuous improvement in seismic data quality the lithology and fluid prediction from seismic data has become more reliable during the last decade. This is also a requirement for more complex and less robust exploration targets, as well for increased hydrocarbon recovery in production. Milestones on the road for improved LFP have been Elastic Inversion and Simultaneous Inversion.
