Abstract

Petrophysical parameters such as porosity and fluid saturation which provide useful information for reservoir characterization could be estimated by rock physics model (RPM) using seismic velocity and resistivity. Therefore, accurate P-wave velocity and resistivity information have to be obtained for successful estimation of the petrophysical parameters. Compared with the individual inversion of electromagnetic (EM) or seismic data, the joint inversion using both EM and seismic data together can reduce the uncertainty and gives the opportunity to use the advantages of each data. Thus, more reliable petrophysical properties could be estimated through the joint inversion. In this paper, for the successful estimation of petrophysical parameters, we proposed an effective method which applies a grid-search method to find the porosity and fluid saturation. The relations of porosity and fluid saturation with P-wave velocity and resistivity were expressed by using RPM and the improved resistivity distribution used to this study was obtained by joint inversion of seismic and EM data. When the proposed method was applied to the synthetic data which were simulated for subsea reservoir exploration, reliable petrophysical parameters were obtained. The results indicate that the proposed method can be applied for detecting a reservoir and calculating the accurate oil and gas reserves.

매장량의 평가에 직접적인 정보를 제공해주는 저류층 변수들인 공극률과 유체포화율은 물리탐사방법을 통해 직접적으로 획득이 가능한 탄성파 속도나 전기비저항의 물성값을 암석물리모델 구성법에 적용하여 추정이 가능하다. 따라서, 정확한 저류층 변수들의 추정을 위해서는 우선적으로 정확한 속도나 전기비저항과 같은 물성값들의 추정이 필요하다. 이종의 물리탐사자료를 이용한 복합역산은 단일 물리탐사자료를 이용한 역산과 비교시, 역산의 불확실성을 줄일 수 있고, 두 탐사자료의 장점을 함께 이용할 수 있기 때문에 단일물리탐사자료에 비하여 보다 신뢰성있는 물성정보를 추정할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 효율적인 공극률과 유체포화율의 분포를 추정하기 위하여, 탄성파탐사자료와 전자탐사자료의 복합역산을 통해서 지하의 속도 정보와 전기비저항 정보를 획득한 뒤, 이 두 물성을 모두 이용하여 암석물리모델을 구성하는 과정이 포함 된 격자탐색법(grid-search)을 제안하였다. 오일저류층 모델의 합성자료에 적용한 결과, 보다 신뢰성 있는 저류층 변수들을 추정하였으며, 이는 오일저류층의 정확한 매장 위치 추정과, 매장량 계산에 보다 정확한 정보를 제공해 줄 것으로 기대된다.
