Abstract:
Rock physical analysis is the basis of time-lapse seismic monitoring for reservoir waterflood de-velopment, which is the bridge connecting variations of reservoir parameters and changes of the seismic response. We make rock physical analysis on reservoir A of waterflooding development, which includes four aspects time-lapse seismic studies on the feasibility, the response characteristics, reservoir parameters characterization and the results interpretation. The study results show that the reservoir A has the good rock physical conditions, and the variation of fluid and pressure are main influence factors on reservoir velocity and density during oil development. Then the time-lapse seismic response features are obvious for reservoir A, and the elastic parameter

is the most sensitive for the reservoir fluid variation on water-flooding process. As to time-lapse seismic response, the influences of fluid and pressure are opposite, and the more porosity is, the more obvious is time-lapse seismic response.
