Abstract
We demonstrate the feasibility of Simultaneous Joint Migration Inversion (SJMI) as a tool for reservoir monitoring with a highly realistic synthetic model based on Grane field offshore Norway. JMI is a full wavefield inversion method that explains the observed reflection data using a parameterization in terms of propagation velocity and reflectivity. Transmission effects and internal multiples are included in the forward modeling process based on a multi-dimensional version of the Bremmer series. SJMI simultaneously inverts for several time-lapse datasets and is able to reliably recover the time-lapse effects in the reflectivity model. The time-lapse velocity differences could also be reasonably recovered, even though they look somewhat smeared compared to the true velocity differences, they are still able to explain the propagation effects in the data. Finally, we also show the effectiveness of SJMI dealing with the case of non-repeatable surveys.
