This book presents materials on the further improvement and application of this technology in order to create optimal sections and cubes for AI and RC acoustic heterogeneities in a real environment, with high resolution, and the most probable distribution of geological parameters of the medium such as clay content, sandiness, porosity, water saturation, effective and oil-saturated thickness, density of hydrocarbon distribution within the interval of productive formation occurrence, and so on.
Particular attention is given to the analysis of the fundamental works of Russian and foreign researchers, theoretical mathematicians, and geophysicists who contribute significantly to solving complex seismic exploration problems that can be difficult to solve numerically, such as solving multidimensional inverse problems in theoretical seismology. A brief analysis of these works is provided in accordance with the results obtained from the application of HRS-Geo, which are characterized by their effectiveness in solving specific geological issues using effective RC and AI values.
Issues related to solving the inverse dynamic seismic problem by optimization using a vector of objective functions and complex interpretation of high resolution seismic data operating a large volume of HRS and WL materials and most likely geological indicator distributions, including lithological composition and reservoir properties, oil and gas saturation are addressed. When studying well sections, known principles of continuous functional transformation of WL data to information systems are applied.
The book is intended for researchers and professionals involved in-depth geological interpretation of seismic data and studies of oil and gas deposit structures, students of geophysics and geology, graduate students in these fields, and developers.
Vladimir L. Trofimov is the author and developer of high-resolution seismic technology (HRS-Geo Technology) for studying the lithological composition, reservoir properties, the degree of saturation of reservoir rocks with fluids, and for the direct detection of oil and gas deposits. Vladimir graduated from the Oktyabrsk Oil Technical College (Russia), Vakhrushev Sverdlovsk Mining Institute (SMI, Russia) and full-time postgraduate study at the Geological Department of the Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU, Russia). He received a PhD degree in Geology and Mineralogy, specializing in Seismic Exploration of Heterogeneous Media. He worked in several geological and geophysical organizations of the USSR and Russia, performing seismic, geological and geophysical studies in various regions: Yakutia, Kazakhstan, the Southern Urals, Belarus, Western and Eastern Siberia, European regions of Russia and a number of foreign territories. During his career, Vladimir developed and applied new seismic methods for oil and gas exploration, detailed seismic modeling and well logging. At the Belarusian Research Geological Prospecting Institute (BelNIGRI, Belarus), with his scientific leadership, the studies have been carried out on: forecasting a geological section based on borehole seismic studies data; improving the physical and geological foundations of direct forecasting of oil and gas content by geophysical methods; improving the methodology of polarization and multiwave seismic studies, three-component borehole seismic monitoring for forecasting man-made earthquakes; application of seismic prospecting for the study of heterogeneous geological environments. At the Central Geophysical Expedition (CGE, Russia) and at HRS-Geo Technology LLC (Russia), he has worked on the application of HRS-Geo Technology in various geological conditions for onshore and offshore oil and gas seismic exploration and 2D and 3D seismic surveys design. His research interests are inverse problems of geophysics, geophysical methods of research, development of high-resolution seismic methods (HRS-Geo Technology) and complex interpretation of well and seismic data. Vladimir is the author of 93 scientific publications and more than 60 scientific and methodological reports on the integrated interpretation of seismic data and well logging. He is the author of a course of lectures "Polarization and multiwave seismic exploration".
