Abstract A project to evaluate the benefits post-stack seismic inversion and the multi-attribute Neural Net technologies was successfully performed. The main focus of the project was on carbonates of Oligocene age in East java. The inversion and multi-attribute Neural-Net analysis was performed on 2D seismic data, which passed through a number of wells. The wells werw used as calibration for parameter optimization and as blind well tests to aid in the evaluation of the final results. The inversion project produced ban-limited and absolute acoustic impedence models that more clearly identified lower and higher acoustic impedence layers in the subsurface. Seismic data is composed of reflected events that identify the top and base of layers, but has limitations on resolving thin layers and amplitude issues due to tuning wavelet interference effects. Inversion can minimize tuning effects and produces a layer based result, which can have advantages over the seismic reflection images. The Multi-attribute Neural-Net technology has been shown to be useful in predicting reservoir properties in Carbonates (Soroka, et.al, 2008). The multi-attribute Neural-Net analysis will be used to predict an acoustic impedence model. In addition a test to predict both a porosity and resistivity model will be conducted as part of the multi attribute NeuralNet project. The Neural Net technology has the advantages of being a nonlinear approach that can identify complex relationships between a collection of seismic attributes and a target reservoir property from calibration well. The result from this project demonstrate both advantages and limitations to the Neural-Net technology that can aid in future studies. This project report describes the inversion and multi attribute Neural-Net technologies. The work flows, quality control steps and results are described to document the valuable lessons learned throughout the project. The final results are encouraging and show that advanced seismic techniques are capable of extracting additional valuable information about carbonate reservoir properties from seismic. The results also demonstrate thet input

data quality has a direct impact on final result quality and that good seismic and well information is essential on predicting higher quality rock and reservoir properties.
