Abstract:
Geophysical technology has been extended to reservoir development for several decades.Dramatic progresses have been made in target-oriented imaging, rock physics, multi-constrained inversion, seismic constrained and driven modeling, reservoir dynamics monitoring and characterization, and multi-data integration and artificial intelligence.The extension of geophysical technology to reservoir development and engineering is a natural trend and needs for geophysics itself, but also is a need for better reservoir development and production.Reservoir geophysics has its own characteristics due to the changes in data condition, dominant technical problems and targets compared to exploration geophysics.This paper reviews and summarizes the development and status for reservoir geophysics.The goal is to share author's thinking for future trends and development in this area.Hope this could inspire readers for this area.
