Multicomponent 4-D seismic reservoir characterization of tight gas sands, Rulison Field, Colorado

Thomas L. Davis

Abstract

The Colorado School of Mines Reservoir Characterization Project (RCP) is conducting time-lapse multicomponent seismic surveys at Rulison Field, Piceance Basin, Colorado, to identify and monitor fracture zones in tight gas sands. Multicomponent seismic monitoring is being conducted in a tight gas development project for the first time, as drilling to ten acre well spacing is occurring. The purpose of the study is to use dynamic reservoir characterization to develop reservoir characterization technologies and improve recovery efficiency in tight gas reservoirs.
