(i) Rock property cross-plots to demonstrate the amenability of
seismic impedance inversion study in delineating reservoir-type
"sands" from surrounding background "shale" response
(ii) Deliver on fit-for-purpose inverted P-impedance volume for use as
volume backdrop for static reservoir characterization models.
(iii) Complete and present concise summary of seismic impedance
inversion study including all time-depth curves employed, extracted
seismic wavelet used and inverted P-impedance volume in digital
media.
Project deliverables included:
(i) Generation of sand-shale probability volumes for porosity and
litho-facies prediction.
(ii) Final PowerPoint presentations and project sign-off.
Results and lessons learned from seismic impedance inversion studies added considerably to Chevron Nigeria's Exploration Assets Teams subsurface reservoir characterization efforts and hydrocarbon reserves addition.
Project deliverables included:
(i) Generation of wiggle-trace synthetic angle gathers, seismic
gradient-stack (A1-S) crossplots, probabilistic AVA forward models
for reservoir porosity and thickness estimation in support of
Chevron's Corporate Amplitude Risking and Scoring of prospective
hydrocarbon reservoir sands.
(ii) Final PowerPoint presentation and project sign-off.
Results and lessons leaned from AVA studies of target reservoir sands contributed greatly to Chevron Nigeria's Exploration Asset Teams reservoir characterization and reserves addition efforts
Project deliverables included:
(i) Generation of enhanced seismic angle stacks and gathers with
significantly improved event alignment, compensation for offset
dependent frequency loss, and improved signal-to-noise ratio
(ii) Final PowerPoint presentation and project sign-off.
Results and lessons leaned from Post Migration Data Conditioning Studies greatly underscored the importance of the availability of fit-for-purpose seismic angle gathers and stacks for Chevron Nigeria's Exploration Asset Teams reservoir characterization and reserves addition efforts.
Project deliverables included:
(i) Active participation in CNL Agbami 4D OBN Monitor-1 Geophysical
Reservoir Characterization Study in OMLs 127 and 128 Offshore
Nigeria from 2013 to 2015.
(ii) Carried out seismic QA/QA roles in close collaboration with
Contractor personnel on seismic acquisition survey grid and
binning parameters.
(iii) Final PowerPoint presentation and project sign-off
Results and lessons leaned from seismic processing QA/QC studies ensured the delivery of fit-for-purpose wide azimuth seismic offset gathers with required fold coverage for input into Chevron's Reservoir Properties from Seismic (RPFS) estimation workflows.
1. Organized and supervised training and mentoring on a broad
spectrum of quantitative seismic interpretation workflows ranging
from seismic-to-well ties to high-end simultaneous impedance
inversion techniques for quantitative seismic interpretation to
several graduate and undergraduate interns.
1. Implemented Chevron's Custom Amplitude Processing workflows on several vintages of seismic datasets from the Great White Field in Gulf of Mexico. Amplitude Processing workflows include seismic dataset denoising and signal-to-noise enhancing algorithms before datasets are employed in geophysical reservoir characterization workflows.
2. Performed rock properties cross-plots using Chevron's RPFS - FEQC Workspace for a suite of well log curves from the Great White field in Gulf of Mexico. Petrophysical log curves for input into geophysical reservoir characterization workflows or into quantitative seismic interpretation studies are required to be of high fidelity and fit-for-purpose. Sonic curve cycle skips and despiking are examples of petrophysical log curve problems to be addressed by implementing Chevron's RPFS-FEQC Workspace.
3. Performed well-to-seismic ties for time-depth and wavelet estimation using well log curves from Chevron's RPFS-FEQC workspace and seismic zero-offset and partial angle stacks from Chevron's Custom Amplitude Processing workflows in Great White field.
4. Implemented Seismic Impedance Inversion for both zero offset and partial angle stacks from Great White Field in Gulf of Mexico. Inputs to both acoustic impedance inversion and the more sophisticated simultaneous inversion were fit-for-purpose seismic datasets from Chevron's Custom Amplitude Processing workflows and petrophysical well log curves from RPFS-FEQC Workspace.
5. Documented and presented results and lesson learnt from eighteen months implementation of a broad range of quantitative seismic interpretation workflows from fit-for-purpose petrophysical log curve enhancements to seismic impedance inversion workflows to both Chevron Energy Technology Company's RPFS Team in Houston, TX and Chevron Nigeria's Geology and Geophysics Teams in Lagos, NG.
