Abstract

Carbonate (limestone and dolomite) reservoirs account for approximately 50% of oil and gas production worldwide. However, seismic responses in carbonate rocks are poorly understood. In addition, DHI ranking and AVO classification systems developed for clastic rocks are unlikely to be applicable to carbonate rocks. An accurate and physically sound carbonate rock physics model is needed to address these technical issues.
