Abstract

The quality of seismic-to-well tie is commonly quantified using the classical Pearson's correlation coefficient. However the seismic wavelet is time-variant, well logging and upscaling is only approximate, and the correlation coefficient does not follow this nonlinear behavior. We introduce the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to automate the tying process, accounting for frequency and time variance. The Dynamic Time Warping method can follow the nonlinear behavior better than the commonly used correlation coefficient. Furthermore, the quality of the similarity value does not depend on the selected correlating window. We compare the developed method with the manual seismic-to-well tie in a benchmark case study.
