HYBRID RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION METHOD

An integrated physical and statistical method provides predictions of a reservoir property by operating on seismic data both before and after it is significantly enhanced, e.g., stacked/filtered. One or more matrix functions are derived from pre-stacked, partially-stacked, and/or post-stacked seismic data that are used to obtain a new attribute as well as to correlate/integrate the physical and statistical methods to obtain significantly improved predictions of a reservoir property.
