Inversion for reservoir pressure change using overburden strain measurements determined from 4D seismic

When significant pore pressure changes occur because of production from a hydrocarbon reservoir the rocks both inside and outside of the reservoir deform. This deformation results in traveltime changes between reflection events on timelapse seismic data, because the distance between reflection event...
