Geostatistical integration of rock physics, seismic amplitudes, and geologic models in North Sea turbidite systems

Turbidite reservoirs, deepwater clastic systems often characterized by complex sand distribution, stretch the limits of conventional seismic and geostatistical modeling and analysis. Nevertheless, such reservoirs must produce at a high rate to cover large drilling and production costs. Hence, reservoir heterogeneity must be accurately quantified and the associated uncertainty measured to determine the investment risk.
