Opis

Demonstrating how rock physics can be applied to predict reservoir parameters, such as lithologies and pore fluids, from seismically derived attributes, this volume provides an integrated methodology and practical tools for quantitative interpretation, uncertainty assessment, and characterization of subsurface reservoirs. Including problem sets and a case-study for which seismic and well-log data and Matlab codes are provided on the Internet (http: //publishing.cambridge.org/resources/0521816017), the book is intended for students of petroleum geoscience as well as professionals in the field

Recenzje

'The authors provide very useful guidelines … by highlighting important points and pitfalls within the text and bulleted conclusions at the end of each chapter. … The reference list is quite extensive and very current … I recommend this book to geophysicists involved with reservoir property estimation from seismic data and well log formation evaluation.'
