Abstract
2. Static Characterization
Static and dynamic reservoir characterization was done on high resolution P-wave
seismic data in Delhi Field, LA to study the complex stratigraphy of the Holt-Bryant
sands and to delineate the CO2 flow path. The interpretation was done on bandwidthextended seismic data. Acoustic impedance inversion done on monitor and base
surveys helped in delineating CO2 flowpaths and the channel geometry in the
reservoir.
To monitor the flow of CO2 within Paluxy and Tuscaloosa sandstone formations, dynamic characterization was done using merged
2008-10 survey as the base survey and RCP (June 2010) survey as the monitor survey. The surveys were cross-equalized to
increase the repeatability. Model-based acoustic impedance (AI) inversion was performed on both the surveys to quantify the
changes in acoustic impedance with the addition of CO2 and water in the field. Fluid substitution modeling was done on well data
to model the expected changes in AI with CO2 and water.

Location of the seismic surveys in the field. The merged survey of 2008 and March
2010 was used as the base survey for 3D interpretation and the RCP survey from
June 2010 was used as the monitor survey for time-lapse interpretation in this study.

Bandwidth extension was applied by Geotrace on the 3D seismic datasets using the
method of continuous wavelet transform to recover the lower and the higher
frequencies in the seismic bandwidth that were lost from earth’s reflectivity during
transmission. The method increased the dominant frequency in the data and
decreased the tuning effect.

NRMS maps and their respective histograms within the reservoir zone. The repeatability has improved with cross-equalization.
However, some zones of low repeatability around the wells are observed where one expects to see changes with production and
injection. The middle of the reservoir shows high repeatability. This could mean that the middle of the reservoir is being bypassed.
