f The role of core measurements in seismic lithology prediction

Core measurements play an important role in lithology prediction from seismic data by: - Providing an accurate set of geophysical and petrophysical measurements about reservoir and caprock lithologies. - Allowing correlations between petrophysical and elastic parameters to be established. - Enabling key elastic parameters such as shear velocity, shear and bulk moduli to be determined for geophysical modelling. This paper describes how core measurements have helped evaluate and predict reservoir and caprock lithologies in the Paleocene section of Amoco operated fields in the UK Central Graben.
