The primary objective of rock physics modelling is to establish a link between various rock properties viz. porosity, lithology and fluid saturation, with elastic attributes like Vp/Vs and/or impedances. These linkages play a crucial role in both qualitative and quantitative seismic interpretation and reservoir characterization. Rock physics modelling entails the utilization of mathematical and physical models to replicate the behaviour of rocks and fluids under diverse geological conditions. By integrating rock physics modelling into seismic interpretation workflows, geoscientists can enhance their comprehension of subsurface geology, forecast reservoir properties, and make well-informed decisions for hydrocarbon exploration.
