Well Ties
- Synthetic seismogram
- Vertical seismic profile (VSP) tie to seismic data
Synthetic seismogram
-Use density and sonic logs. Density log gives density of formation and
Sonic log use indirectly to calculate velocity. Product of density and
velocity is known as Acoustic Impedance.
- Acoustic Impedance log (AIL)show fine details of thin interbeds with
different lithologies.
-Once AIL is prepared, next step is to convert the log as function of
two-way travel time.
- The resulting acoustic impedance curve then use to calculate
refection coefficients at each interface between contrasting velocities.
-A wavelet is chosen that has frequency response and band width
similar to that of nearby seismic data. The synthetic wavelet is
convolved with the reflection series for the entire well survey and
generates seismic trace.
Reflection coefficient
R = (An+1-An)/(An+1+An)
Where An+1 & An are acoustic impedance of above and below the

Convolution Model
T(t)=Ro(t)*w(t)+n(t)
Where,
T(t) = seismic trace
Ro(t) = Reflection coefficient series
w(t) = wavelet
n(t) = Noise
