Elements of Rock Physics and Their Application to Inversion and AVO Studies
1st Edition
by Robert S. Gullco (Author), Malcolm Anderson (Author)
The
ultimate aim of the oil exploration industry is to determine the
distribution of rock types and underground fluids. At this stage, we can
actually determine with a certain accuracy, the distribution of several
underground physical properties. The challenge for the rock physicist
is to translate those physical properties (P-Velocity, S-velocity,
density) into rock types and fluids (gas or oil or water bearing sand,
shale). If performed correctly, dry holes can be avoided and millions of
dollars can be saved. Ultimately, an integrated approach is required.
This book deals with a series of topics in rock physics, including
elasticity, pore pressure, incompressibility of rocks and the Gassmann
equation, fluid substitution, forward modeling and empirical equations,
rock physics applications to AVO studies and inversion studies, and the
Differential Effective Medium (DEM) method. It is generally addressed to
the practitioner (geophysicist, geologist), and in some instances
detailed instructions are furnished to perform a particular task. Some
chapters, on the other hand, are theoretical and more mathematical, and
are expected to be of interest to both practitioners and students alike.
Other chapters include innovative ideas, that could, for instance, be
tested by oil companies that have substantial amounts of data at their
disposal.
This book will serve as a useful guide to practitioners
(geologists, petrophysicists, geophysicists as well as reservoir
engineers) and students/academics.
