Integrated Crosswell Seismic Inversion - Test on Belayim Land Data

This paper describes the application of elastic inversion on real crosswell data, with the objective of discriminating sand and shale with high resolution at the reservoir level. For this work we used crosswell seismic profiles acquired at Belayim Land field, Sinai, Egypt. The results showed that elastic inversion of crosswell seismic data is able to discriminate between sand and shales with a resolution of 5m. Knowledge of Vs information at the reservoir level is important in order to obtain absolute results from the elastic inversion.
