Abstract

Sandy channelized reservoirs in deep water environments are significant for oil exploration, appraisal, and
production. However, there are several limiting factors for the reliable subsurface characterization of this type of
sedimentary environment, especially the ones related to heterogeneities. Despite the fact of being the
conventional approach adopted in dealing with this kind of reservoirs, the low seismic resolution aspect is a
challenge to properly address the main heterogeneities issues. Inverted seismic volumes enhances the
confidence of rock properties spatial distribution into the geological models, even without eliminating the
uncertainties. Methodologies of using synthetic elastic properties modeling, such as velocity, density and
thickness is a known way to assess and optimize geostatistical models, associating the intrinsically data
responses reducing uncertainties in the spatial distribution of them, due to the presence of high vertical-
resolution well data. The study discusses the limitations of using average information from seismic data to
extrapolate well data to adjacencies due to ambiguities arising from differences in lithologies, fluid content, and
layer thickness that can provide the same seismic signature. The following work is centered on exploring a new
approach to the creation of parameterized earth models, which involves utilizing both 1D and 3D elastic
properties modeling. This study aims to advance our understanding of the potential benefits of such an
approach. It was discussed the use of well information, specifically drill stem test data, in conjunction with
seismic interpretation to better understand the hydraulic features of a reservoir. The seismic volume
interpretation provided an idea of the external geometry of geological bodies, but the limited vertical resolution
made it difficult in providing more detailed internal geometries. The seismic data was calibrated using information
obtained directly from the rocks through well-logs interpretation, enabling the identification of the seismic
signature desired order interval. The focus of the study is on the Maastrichtian turbidite reservoirs of the Calumbi
Formation in the Sergipe Sub-basin, and we describe the methodology used in creating feasible and
representative geological models of these reservoirs. We combine various data sources, including logs, drill
stem test, seismic data, and outcrop descriptions, building a detailed model of the subsurface geology. This
multidisciplinary approach allows us to create a calibrated property model that was compared to an existing
dynamic data, confirming the approach´s success. The findings arise have implications for all the E&P border, as
the creation of reliable geological models is crucial for successful hydrocarbon activities.
