Conclusions Conclusions
Elastic inversion is more powerful than conventional post-stack acoustic inversion, which provides more petro-physical parameters used in identifying lithology and fluid distribution in a reservoir.
Our elastic inversion result fits very well with drilling results.
Elastic inversion obviously is a major direction in reservoir characterization.
