  • Method for rapid calibration of seismic interval attributes to rock properties for assessment uncertainty
    Patent number: 10816684
    Abstract: A method, including: calibrating a linear rock physics model to well log properties; generating a plurality of pseudo-well models for a subsurface region using a Monte Carlo approach; generating synthetic seismic traces from each of the plurality of pseudo-well models; computing top and base isochron from the synthetic seismic traces; computing seismic attributes in an interval specified by the top and base isochron on the synthetic seismic traces; correlating the seismic attributes to rock properties; and transforming seismic data into low-side, most-likely, and high-side estimates of rock properties.
