| Abstract: | The Connolly (1999) elastic impedance (EI) equation is a function of P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, density, and incidence
angle. Conventional inversion methods based on this equation can only extract P-velocity, S-velocity, and density data directly
and the elastic impedance at different incidence angles are not at the same scale, which makes comparison difficult. We propose
a new elastic impedance equation based on the Gray et al. (1999) Zoeppritz approximation using Lamé parameters to address
the conventional inversion method’s deficiencies. This equation has been normalized to unify the elastic impedance dimensions
at different angles and used for inversion. Lamé parameters can be extracted directly from the elastic impedance data obtained
from inversion using the linear relation between Lamé parameters and elastic impedance. The application example shows that
the elastic parameters extracted using this new method are more stable and correct and can recover the reservoir information
very well. The new method is an improvement on the conventional method based on Connolly’s equation.
Wang Baoli graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Prospecting Information and Engineering from the China University of Petroleum (East
China) in 2004 and earned her Master’s degree from the department of Geophysical Prospecting and Information Technology in
the China University of Petroleum ((East China) in 2006. She now studies for her PhD at the China University of Petroleum
(East China). Her research interest is elastic impedance inversion. |
