Title:
DETERMINING FAULT TRANSMISSIVITY IN A SUBTERRANEAN RESERVOIR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/048692
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
To determine fault transmissivity in a subterranean reservoir, fault structures in the subterranean reservoir are identified, and elastic impedance data is computed from well log data and seismic data. Normalization parameters that have a predetermined orientation with respect to the identified fault structures are computed, and elastic impedance flux values are normalized with respect to the normalization parameters, where the normalized elastic impedance flux values are indicative of transmissivities of fault structures in the subterranean structure.
