ABSTRACT
Geology-guided reconditioning of seismic data is the key to improving extraction of relevant geologic information from three-dimensional (3-D) data volumes. In the Fullerton Clear Fork reservoir, the most convenient and useful tools for data reconditioning are phase shifting and high-frequency enhancement. A simple seismic phase rotation (to 90
) reconditions seismic data for impedance representation, roughly linking seismic amplitude directly to log lithology and porosity and making stratigraphic correlation more accurate. High-frequency enhancement raises the dominant frequency of 3-D seismic data from 30 to 50 Hz, improving seismic resolution without significantly deteriorating signal-to-noise ratio. More accurate and finer scale seismic mapping of reservoir parameters is achieved from 
model
-based progressive inversion that seamlessly integrates geologic interpretation of well-derived seismic data and model
-based seismic inversion for high-resolution (2 ft [0.6 m]) impedance models.
