Abstract
Understanding subterranean reservoirs, geological characteristics, fluid composition, and hydrocarbon potential strongly relies on precise reservoir characterization. Seismic inversion is a key method in reservoir characterization to approximate the acoustic impedance and porosity of underlying rock formations using seismic and well-log data. A sparse layer reflectivity (SLR) post-stack inversion method approach is used in this study to make thin layers more visible. To generate an impedance volume, it uses a predetermined wavelet library, an objective function, and a regularization parameter, the regularization parameter is a tunable parameter used to control the balance between fitting the data closely (minimizing the misfit) and ensuring a smooth and stable model for and sparseness computed coefficients. This study uses Blackfoot data to estimate the density, velocity, impedance, and porosity of a particular region using the SLR and Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN). According to the interpretation of the impedance section, a low impedance anomaly zone with an impedance range of (8500–9000) m/s*g/cc is present at a time of (1040–1065) ms. The low impedance zone is classified as a clastic glauconitic sand channel (reservoir zone) based on the correlation between seismic and borehole data. Further, a Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) has been applied to the data to estimate porosity volume and to conduct a more thorough examination of the reservoir zone and cross-validate inverted results. The research demonstrates that the high porosity zone, low velocity, and density zone are discovered by the RBFNN technique, and the low impedance zone interpreted in inversion findings are correlating, which confirms the existence of the glauconitic sand channel. This research is crucial for understanding how well SLR, RBFNN, and multi-attribute analysis work to define sand channels.
期刊介绍：
Well-established international journal presenting marine geophysical experiments on the geology of continental margins, deep ocean basins and the global mid-ocean ridge system. The journal publishes the state-of-the-art in marine geophysical research including innovative geophysical data analysis, new deep sea floor imaging techniques and tools for measuring rock and sediment properties.
Marine Geophysical Research reaches a large and growing community of readers worldwide. Rooted on early international interests in researching the global mid-ocean ridge system, its focus has expanded to include studies of continental margin tectonics, sediment deposition processes and resulting geohazards as well as their structure and stratigraphic record. The editors of MGR predict a rising rate of advances and development in this sphere in coming years, reflecting the diversity and complexity of marine geological processes.
