Technical Abstract
Image based Q-compensation for 4D reservoir identification and interpretation – A case study at Gulf of Mexico
Back to Technical ContentImaged based Q-compensation coupled with FWI can solve for significant frequency and amplitude losses below shallow overburden absorptive geologic bodies. Applying Q-compensation to both the baseline and monitor 4D surveys improves the consistency of the 4D response, leading to more reliable placement of development wells. This should lead to enhanced production and improved reservoir management.
