Seismic Net Pay (built with Qt®)
An
improved method to estimate net pay from seismic attributes
 |
Works by correcting
average amplitude to seismic net-to-gross
|
|
|
Application of power
law geological models provides more accurate synthetic
datasets on which to test and optimise net pay estimation
algorithms
|
|
Can be seamlessly
integrated with existing seismic interpretation systems and allows
Interpretation Geophysicists to gain access to inversion techniques.
|
|
Rapid, robust,
inexpensive and eliminates the need for expert users.

Description

Seismic
Net Pay (SNP) estimates
net pay from seismic attributes. More
generally SNP can be used to make estimates of either net pay or net
rock
volume depending on the input data and the calibration.
The documentation will refer to net
pay
throughout but interchangeability with net rock volume should be
inferred. The
application interfaces directly with
Seisworks to read and write horizon data.
The basic steps of the algorithm are:
- Detune
amplitude attribute
- Estimate
net-to-gross
using self-calibration
- Convert
to net pay and
calibrate to well data
- Iterate
to optimise
calibration
