Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Distinct paths ( 40 ), e.g., locally optimal, are determined in a heterogeneous velocity field ( 32 ) between a source object and a target object ( 33 ) using gradients ( 35 ) of a two-way total arrival time field ( 34 ). The foregoing technique may be used to assess hydrocarbon reservoir connectivity.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for assessing reservoir connectivity in a subsurface region for the purpose of planning and managing production of hydrocarbons from the subsurface region, comprising: (a) creating a geologic cellular model in a computer of at least a portion of the subsurface region, said model containing a value of a selected geophysical property for each cell of the model; (b) determining a front propagation speed for each cell as a function of the select…
