Abstract
The cause of the low efficiency of geostatistical seismic inversion based on sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS) is explained as follows. In spite of the non-stationary type of initial borehole impedance sections, SGS generates stationary realizations of the same vertical sections. This results in the stationary cubes of predicted impedance values in which all deterministic features are erased. This article proposes using impedance section realizations obtained from a fuzzy model rather than from SGS. The first accurately represent the local statistics of borehole impedance sections, which allows the resulting impedance cubes to clearly show the deterministic features of a geological object. The method is illustrated with an example of the inversion for a real seismic cube.
