Abstract

Seismic inversion methods include constrained sparse pulse inversion and band limit inversion, etc. Although resolution of the seismic inversion results is higher than seismic data, it does not identify thin interbedding sand body and confirm the development of reservoirs. In this paper, in A block of Indonesia adopted geostatistical inversion in reservoir prediction, which is a method of seismic inversion combining geological statistics simulation and seismic inversion. This inversion method can establish various 3D geological model with the same probability of rock properties and lithology and it obey all seismic, logging and geological data. Using statistical regularity and seismic inversion technique we can obtain more fine reservoir model and finally reach the purpose of identification of single thin sand layer.
