In this course students interpret and model salt using two different datasets and generate velocity volumes which include the salt interpretation. These velocity volumes can then be used to generate a final depth volume using wave migration (wave migration is not covered in this course). The course primarily focuses on the 3D Canvas application from Paradigm™ Rock & Fluid Canvas™ 2009 | Epos ® 4.0. It covers a variety of techniques to interpret salt, create solid and geologic models, and update sediment velocity volumes to include the salt body and a nd velocity. velocity. Students also learn how to generate a new velocity volume using constant velocities. Additional techniques for interpreting salt using Paradigm VoxelGeo are also covered in less detail.

Objectives

1

Follow numerous empirical rock relationships and theoretical rock models in a workflow to derive and evaluate the measured results for the Gassmann fluid substitution, as the Gassmann fluid substitution depends heavily on correct rock property measurements. The theoretic rock models include effective medium models and contact models, which predict the physical behavior and trends of the rock. The theoretic models are guidelines in evaluating and estimating the rock properties. The empirical relationships in Geolog includes the most commonly used velocity-porosity and density-porosity models. All necessary input required by the Gassmann equations can be derived or evaluated from the above models/ relationships. The two Gassmann models in Geolog include the clean sand and shaly sand models. The former assumes the rock constituents are mainly sand, whereas the latter assumes a fairly big amount of shale contents. The clean sand model can be used for mixed mineralogy by using an effective average modulus of rock matrix mixture.
