| 20090271118 | Method for Obtaining Porosity and Shale Volume From Seismic Data - Method for obtaining rock parameters such as porosity and vshale directly from inversion of seismic data corresponding to a single trace location. This method is distinguished from existing methods that obtain elastic properties from inversion of seismic data, then relate the elastic parameters to rock lithology parameters such as porosity or vshale because it is accomplished in one step, can incorporate anisotropy and does not require multiple trace locations for stability. The data are separated into partial stacks, and a wavelet is specified for each stack. A set of linearized equations are constructed relating seismic reflectivity to changes in elastic parameters, and another set of linearized equations is constructed relating the changes in elastic parameters to the lithologic parameters. The linearized reflectivity equations are combined with the linearized rock physics equations, convolved with the specified wavelets, and equated to the seismic data. The resulting matrix equations are then inverted and a solution is obtained for all offsets simultaneously. | 10-29-2009 |

The method includes: collecting a plurality of multi-dimensional data sets; estimating a probability density function from each data set; approximating a dissimilarity between every pair of said probability density functions and recording every dissimilarity in a dissimilarity matrix; embedding the dissimilarity matrix into a Euclidean space having a dimensionality of three or less using a multi-dimensional scaling method; and graphically displaying relationships between data sets using data in the Euclidean space on a display of a computing device. | 04-16-2009 |
