Abstract

AVO and inversion techniques became very popular in the oil industry in recent days. Although AVO technique can be used for direct detection of hydrocarbon, however it suffered from ambiguities caused by lithology effects, tuning effects and overburden effects. Seismic inversion is the process of transforming seismic reflection into a quantitative rock-property description of a reservoir. Apart from general interpretation, these studies are done to extract additional information from seismic data.
