Improvement on the quantitative seismic history matching

Practical Applications of Time-lapse Seismic Data

“…Reservoir engineering deals with the flow of fluids in subsurface porous media and with the various methods that are designed and implemented to ensure optimum oil and gas recovery (Iqbal and Satter, 2010). Elements of reservoir engineering and geoscience play pivotal roles in developing and managing a reservoir.…”

“…In addition to depending on a drive mechanism, primary recovery also depends on fluid mobility, phase behavior, and rock properties (Iqbal and Satter, 2010). In addition to depending on a drive mechanism, primary recovery also depends on fluid mobility, phase behavior, and rock properties (Iqbal and Satter, 2010).…”

“…Reservoir simulators play a vital role in analyzing reservoir performance and setting a future strategy for developing, producing, and managing the reservoir effectively (Iqbal and Satter, 2010). Reservoir simulators model fluid flow and pressure in the reservoir and ultimately are used to evaluate sweep and recovery.…”

“…In some of the earlier efforts to use 4D data as a history-match constraint, Huang et al (1997Huang et al ( , 1998 and apply a map-based, semiautomated method. The seismic misfit is defined by the normalized crosscorrelation of a 4D attribute, such as impedance change, with the depth-averaged model prediction of that attribute.…”
