Ensemble-Based Assisted History Matching With 4D-Seismic Fluid-Front Parameterization

An ensemble-based 4D-seismic history-matching case is presented in the complete paper. Seismic data are reparameterized as distance to a 4D anomaly front and assimilated with production data.

An ensemble-based 4D-seismic history-matching case is presented in the complete paper. Seismic data are reparameterized as distance to a 4D anomaly front and assimilated with production data. This study shows that adding the 4D reparameterized seismic data in addition to the production data keeps a reasonable match with production data while constraining the overall gas distribution in the reservoir to the observed seismic data.

Introduction

The complex construction of a petroelastic model renders the use of quantitative seismic data in history-matching work flows quite challenging. Several authors have investigated quantitative approaches for incorporating a large number of seismic data into history-matching work flows for production data.
