Abstract

The accuracy of seismic inversion is affected by the seismic wavelet and time-depth relationship generated by the process of the seismic well tie. The seismic well tie is implemented by comparing the synthetic seismogram computed from well logs and the poststack seismogram at or nearby the borehole location. However, precise waveform matching between the synthetic seismogram and the seismic trace does not guarantee an accurate tie between the elastic properties contained represented by the seismic data and well logs. We have performed the seismic well tie using the impedance log and the impedance inverted from poststack seismic data. We use an improved dynamic time warping to align the impedance log and impedance inverted from seismic data. Our workflow is similar to the current procedure of the seismic well tie except that the matching is implemented between the impedance log and the inverted impedance. The current seismic well-tie converges if there is no visible changes for the wavelets and time-depth relationship in the previous and current tying loops. Similarly, our seismic well tie converges if there are no visible changes for the wavelets, inverted impedance, and time-depth relationship in the previous and current tying loops. The real data example illustrates that more accurate inverted impedance is obtained by using the new wavelet and time-depth relationship.
