InterWell Seismic inversion and reservoir characterization
InterWell provides a comprehensive set of geophysical workflows to solve challenges from regional exploration to reservoir development scale. Joint inversion allows quantifying acoustic and elastic rock properties from 2D and 3D data. Interwell proprietary simultaneous inversion also handles multi-component, multi-azimuth and time-lapse seismic surveys. Dedicated tools are available for prediction of lithologies and reservoir properties from inversion results.
