Reservoir Geophysics

Reservoir Geophysics: Applications (SEG Distinguished Instructor Series No. 11) covers the application and impact of seismic data on oil and gas reservoirs. The material, based on the 2008 SEG/EAGE Instructor Short Course, shows how geoscientists use seismic data to determine critical reservoir characteristics in the stages of project life from delineation through secondary recovery. The text describes the main business drivers of the operator and how seismic data help in addressing subsurface uncertainties for business purposes. The book discusses delineation, development, production, and geophysics applications in heavy-oil and carbonate reservoirs. Also included are two hands-on student problems based on actual projects. Illustrations include examples that focus on business value. The book will be of interest to geoscientists, managers, and operators. (DISC on DVD, 757A, is also available.)
