Exploration workflow for real-time modelling of rock property and AVO feasibilities in areas with complex burial history ó a Barents Sea demonstration

The authors describe an integrated workflow where full waveform inversion velocity data, well log data, seismic stratigraphy, basin analysis, and rock physics modelling are combined to produce 3D feasibility cubes of expected rock properties and AVO signatures for a given geological scenario. They show how these AVO feasibility cubes can be updated in real time and used to guide quantitative interpretation studies, and to run sensitivity analysis to derisk potential prospects.
