Coupling Forward Stratigraphic and Diagenetical Modeling as Input to Seismic Simulations of the Presalt Play

TOTAL R&D has developed a new approach to improve the understanding of the relations between geology and geophysics in presalt carbonate rocks. This approach is multi-disciplinary and integrates measurements and knowledge of carbonates at all scales, from grain to seismic scale, from low to high resolution. The core of the scientific problematic is to interlock sedimentology, stratigraphy and diagenetic processes together with rock physics and geophysics in a both forward and inverse sense.
