The presence of coal in complex structures featuring sandstone reservoirs seriously hinders reservoir characterization and the identification fluids subsurface formations. Coal can strongly obscure reflections from sandstone, easily leading to false bright spots during exploration; thus, their boundaries cannot be accurately described. Furthermore, layers intercalated with thin seams form compo...

Reservoir characterization has a leading role in the reservoir geophysics and reservoir management. Since the interests of the reservoir geophysics and reservoir managements are the elastic properties and reservoir properties of the subsurface rock for their purposes, a robust method is required for converting seismic data into elastic properties. Accordingly, by employing a rock physics model ...
