An Integrated Approach for Building Geologic Models Consistent with Seismic Data

We demonstrate how rock physics, when coupled with seismic interpretation, can lead to building geologic models that are consistent with seismic data. This approach was tested on the Bengo discovery, located offshore Angola. Two wells (discovery & appraisal) were used in this study to build a rock physics model which relates the seismic response to rock and fluid properties, which were later used for populating the geologic model. This study encompasses surface and subsurface elements including geology, geophysics, petrophysics, and reservoir engineering. However, in this abstract we will only focus on the geology and geophysics elements, which are critical for this study.
