Estimating the safe mud weight window for drilling operations through pre-stack seismic inversion, a case study in one of the Southwestern Iran oil fields by Mohammad Sadegh Mahmoudian, Yousef Shiri, Ahmad Vaezian

“…The pre-stack seismic inversion is conducted by constructing a velocity model and utilizing angle gather aggregation, statistical wavelet extraction, and initial model creation. Seismic inversion analysis revealed that the studied sandstone reservoir layer, known as the Ghar formation, possesses lower P-wave or S-wave acoustic impedance (P-/S-AI) and density compared to adjacent layers, likely due to the presence of porosity and potentially intra-formational fluids. …”
