Lithostratigraphic inversion

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002196

A geophysical technique that uses seismic data to infer the lithology and stratigraphic layering of subsurface formations. It involves converting seismic attributes, such as acoustic impedance, into geological properties like rock type and fluid content. This process often integrates well log data for calibration and validation of the inverted results.
