Probabilistic Estimation of Reservoir Parameters Using the Complementary Nature of Seismic and mCSEM Data

Summary Considering the steadily declining prices in the oil and gas industry, nowadays, the requirement for geophysical information becomes more important in order to get the most out of available reservoirs. Electromagnetic measurements could complement seismic data where it lacks information. The EM response to fluid fill complements the resolving power of seismic data. In the current study, we use a probabilistic method to estimate reservoir parameters individually and jointly through two simplistic, synthetic, 2D reservoir models which can be considered as the geometrical limits of water-oil-contacts in oil and gas fields. We demonstrate a constructive contribution of the measurements with different physical natures in the estimation of reservoir parameters.
