Summary Bayesian inversion is used for the prediction of lithology and fluids from AVO seismic data. We assume a multidimensional Gaussian rock physics prior model for the elastic parameters. In this study, we look at the role of the elastic parameters variance in the prior model and how it can impact facies predictions. When the facies classes contained in the prior model have different variance, this difference influences the inversion beyond just adding uncertainty to the seismic reflections. We examine the balance between the influence of this variance and the match with expected seismic data. Our results show that although the variance influence may lead to unexpected results in synthetic scenarios, it also helps to predict the facies configuration when the seismic data follows the prior distribution and forward model.

We consider the problem of depth conversion at the Edvard Grieg field. Measurements of deep directional resistivity suggest that the top surface on Edvard Grieg is much smoother than what is indicated by the interpretation of seismic reflectors. We investigate this problem by tools of standard depth conversion, by integrating measurements from deep directional resistivity into the standard kriging equations. We propose a statistical model which is able to reveal whether we should introduce a smoothing term for the time interpretations to improve the mapping of the top surface.

Summary We present a Markov chain Monte Carlo method for the computation of the posterior distribution of discrete and continuous properties in geophysical inverse problems. Mixture distributions, Gaussian or non-parametric, have been proposed to model the multimodal behaviour or subsurface properties. However, due to the spatial correlation of subsurface properties, the number of modes of the mixture distribution increases exponentially with the number of samples in the data vector. In this work, we propose a new Markov chain Monte Carlo method based on two steps. First, we update the configuration of the discrete property (for example, facies or rock types), then we update the configuration of the continuous properties (for example, elastic or petrophysical properties). The first step can be performed according to a jump move, where a new configuration is proposed, or a local move, where the configuration of the previous iteration is preserved. The second step is performed by sampling the new configuration of continuous properties either from the analytical expression of the Gaussian distribution of the continuous properties conditioned by the facies configuration in the Gaussian-linear case, or by numerically sampling from the non-parametric conditional distribution in the non-Gaussian and non-linear case. The methodology is demonstrated through the application to synthetic and real datasets.

Summary Conventional geostatistical modelling methods are unable to reproduce the low connectivity typical of deep marine turbidite reservoirs at high net:gross ratios, because the connectivity of these geomodels is inevitably controlled by their net:gross ratio. Previous studies have developed modelling methods that can honour independently both the low connectivity and high net:gross ratios of these systems at different hierarchical scales, however they are unable to honour available well data. We present a new workflow for building reservoir geomodels conditioned to well data, with realistic levels of sand connectivity and hierarchical stacking.

Summary The formation of the exploration program is a complex process that requires an integrated approach. A successful exploration program is based on a multi-level analysis of all possible geological uncertainties, probabilistic assessment of reserves and resources, analysis of tornado charts, maps of variation coefficients, and calculation of the value of information. This work considers the consistent formation and execution of exploration works on the example of Alexander Zhagrin field, which allowed to start production in two years after discovery of oil field in autonomous conditions. The research region is located in the Khanty-Mansiisk autonomous districtof the Tyumen region. The main potentially productive formation is the river-dominated delta sediments of the Cretaceous complex represented by the stratum AS-9.

Summary Stochastic reservoir modeling is an integral part of quantifying subsurface uncertainties. Classical geostatistical methods like Gaussian random function and multi-point geostatistics (MPS) are robust and cheap in computing time. However, these methods are based on mathematical/statistical concepts and therefore lack geological plausibility. Physical modeling with stratigraphic forward modeling (SFM), on the other hand, is capable of generating detailed 3D simulations of the geological realm. Conditioning SFM to e.g. well log data is expensive and not always successful. A hybrid approach of SFM with MPS can support the conditioning. This approach generates concept driven models that match the well data while also keeping geological continuity. Experiments were done on the mature 7th Tortonian oil reservoir in, Austria. Classical geostatistical approaches failed to generate enough dynamically diverse prior models to envelop the production data. First one geological process (SFM) model was generated and conditioned to well data. The result was then used as a training image (TI) for MPS. These results better match the wells while still preserving the geological information from SFM. All simulation models have been initialized and dynamically simulated. In comparison with the common geostatistical approach, they are dynamically more diverse while being more constrained by geological concepts.

Summary Geophysical basin modeling helps constrain the non-uniqueness of seismic velocity inversion methods by employing basin modeling to incorporate geo-history constraints into inversion. Traditionally, basin modeling is performed in a deterministic manner and thus does not facilitate uncertainty quantification. We present a Bayesian approach for propagation of basin modeling uncertainties into velocity models. Our methodology constitutes defining prior probability distributions on uncertain basin modeling parameters and likelihood models on basin modeling calibration data. Posterior realizations of basin models are generated by sampling the prior, performing Monte-Carlo basin simulations and evaluating the corresponding likelihood values. These posterior models are finally linked to velocity models by rock physics modeling. We demonstrate the applicability of our proposed workflow using a 2D real case study from Gulf of Mexico.
