Abstract: Systems and methods for reservoir modeling include a super resolution seismic data conversion platform for converting input seismic data into high resolution output seismic data. The super resolution seismic data conversion platform can perform a super resolution inversion on the input seismic data by imposing sparsity and/or coherency assumptions on geophysical parameters represented by wavelet information of the input seismic data. For instance, a seismic trace interval can be determined, and both a reflection coefficient and an acoustic impedance of the seismic trace interval can be constrained. An optimization problem, using the constrained reflection coefficient and the constrained acoustic impedance, can be generated and/or solved by a sparse inversion. As such, a vertical resolution, as well as a seismic bandwidth, of super resolution output seismic data can be increased, improving subterranean feature (e.g., sand and/or shale characteristics) interpretation and well planning and construction.

Abstract: Monitoring and diagnosing completion during hydraulic fracturing operations provides insights into the fracture geometry, inter-well frac hits and connectivity. Conventional monitoring methods (microseismic, borehole gauges, tracers, etc.) can provide a range of information about the stimulated rock volume but may often be limited in detail or clouded by uncertainty. Utilization of DAS as a fracture monitoring tool is growing, however most of the applications have been limited to acoustic frequency bands of the DAS recorded signal. In this paper, we demonstrate some examples of using the low-frequency band of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) signal to constrain hydraulic fracture geometry. DAS data were acquired in both offset horizontal and vertical monitor wells. In horizontal wells, DAS data records formation strain perturbation due to fracture propagation. Events like fracture opening and closing, stress shadow creation and relaxation, ball seat and plug isolation can be clearly identified.
