This presentation explains the shift towards seismic reservoir characterisation technologies - what are the driving influences for this shift, the main pitfalls in conventional model based seismic inversion and how the newer facies-based approaches address them.
Improving cost control and efficiencies to meet today’s exploration challenges.

Through a combination of Data Solutions consulting, software and integration development and service deliveries, Ikon Science was able to provide a solution which revolutionized how log data was stored, accessed and utilized across the national oil company's organization.
In order to maintain growth in future years, the oil and gas industry faces a sizeable challenge to find innovative solutions that maximize productivity while battling rising costs and promoting long term business sustainability.
Michel Kemper proposes a reservoir characterization workflow that spans modelling, processing, and quantitative interpretation within a rock physics driven framework (not a mere attribute algorithm) and provides a practical guide with some pitfalls to avoid.
This presentation explains the shift towards seismic reservoir characterisation technologies - what are the driving influences for this shift, the main pitfalls in conventional model based seismic inversion and how the newer facies-based approaches address them.
We look at some of the challenges in Seismic Quantitative Reservoir Characterization and look at an overview of the Facies Based Inversion Scheme, demonstrate how this works with a real world case study and discuss.
Ikon's CEO will be covering the state of the industry and how knowledge management will be the gateway to solve E&P's challenges. He will also be discussing our services, solutions and the additional ways we are working to support our customers and the industry in these uncertain times.
The increased abundance of computer power available to the oil and gas industry has moved Machine Learning based Advanced Analytics out of a niche R&D role and into mainstream modelling and predictions. The industry-wide push for this mode of data usage has created new challenges in managing the flow of data across an organization. Large amounts of data must be made available, but in a standardized and clean manner to ensure maximum efficiency and productivity from these models. By working closely with Perigon, Anadarko Petroleum have created an enterprise database for all data pertaining to core which is accessible across the entire organization for conventional workflows, and also feeds directly into these advanced analytic models.
Full-stack seismic interpretation continues to be the primary means of subsurface interpretation. However, the underlying impact of amplitude variation with offset (AVO) is effectively ignored or overlooked during the full-stack interpretation process. We evaluated an overview of some of the key steps in the rock physics assessment of well logs and seismic data, and highlight the potential to move toward a new convention of interpretation on so-called lithology stacks.
Exploration in frontier basins is challenging; subtle targets, large seismic datasets, sparse well penetrations, and many unknowns. In order to make robust and informed interpretations of seismic amplitudes, we need to understand the geological controls on the elastic properties of each seismically distinct rock type that may be present within the basin; we also need to understand if some rocks can’t be imaged.
