At seismic bandwidth a polygon is used to separate pay and
non-pay.
Sparse Spike Inversion
Colored Inversion
Sparse Spike Inversion
• It is useful to determine the 1st exploration
well location
• Predict drilling problems such as shallow gas
or overpressure zone
• It is not recommended for noisy data
• Works on large spike reflectivity
• It builds up reflectivity sequence one spike at
a time. Spikes are added until the trace is
modeled properly
Sparse Spike Inversion example
Sparse Spike Inversion Issues related
• It puts events only where the seismic
demands
• It attempts to produce simplest possible
model consistent with the seismic data
• It often produces fewer events than known
from geological model
Coloured Inversion
• Coloured Inversion as a q.c. tool since it is a very useful seismic
attribute. It is simply shaping the amplitude spectrum of the seismic
data to the amplitude spectrum of the well logs.
• BP developed this method some years ago and it has been in public
demand for some time.
• It gives you the best from your seismic data without having any
model. In that sense, it’s quite robust and a useful product.
Recursive inversion
equation is applied to
the seismic trace and
we should notice here
that AI of 1st layer have
to be estimated first in
addition we notice that
the output is -90
