Synopses & Reviews
Demonstrating how rock physics can be applied to predict reservoir parameters, such as lithologies and pore fluids, from seismically derived attributes, this volume provides an integrated methodology and practical tools for quantitative interpretation, uncertainty assessment, and characterization of subsurface reservoirs. Including problem sets and a case-study for which seismic and well-log data and Matlab codes are provided on the Internet (http://publishing.cambridge.org/resources/0521816017), the book is intended for students of petroleum geoscience as well as professionals in the field.

Synopsis
Quantitative Seismic Interpretation demonstrates how rock physics can be applied to predict reservoir parameters from seismically derived attributes. Aimed at graduate students, academics and industry professionals working in the areas of petroleum geoscience and exploration seismology, it includes exercises and a case-study for which data and codes are provided.
