Methods and Applications in Reservoir Geophysics

“…Prior to the 4D pilot, an extensive feasibility study was performed with the aid of ADCO shareholder experts (Kleiss et al, 2000). Rock-physics modeling predicted changes in velocity and density that would be caused by saturation changes resulting from water having replaced oil in the reservoir.…”
