Abstract

A seismic wave is acoustic energy transmitted by vibration of rock particles. Low
energy waves are approximately elastic, leaving the rock mass unchanged by their
passage, but close to a seismic source the rock may be shattered and permanently
distorted. Reservoir characterization and monitoring using seismic technology has
seen tremendous progress and recognition in recent years. In theory, time-lapse
seismology measures the spatial and temporal changes related to reservoir changes
and processes and it provide data on whether these changes are large enough to
resolve seismically. Other than seismic method, resistivity is one of alternative for
geophysicist to characterize and monitoring the reservoir. Seismic and resistivity test
normally done in different stages which create errors. This method affect the
feasibility during test or experiment thus resulting in wrong interpretation for
reservoir characteristic especially while monitoring water flooding. A device is being
designed which has the capability to run seismic and resistivity monitoring on
reservoir characterization at one time and feasibility will be the focus objective for
this research by implementing several experiment with the new device designed. As
a result of completing the research project, it expected for author to learn as much
possible about geophysics application and able to apply while monitoring the
devices. The author will focus on the application of seismic and resistivity test during
water flooding monitoring. As the conclusion, implication of findings will be the
feasibility of device by applying two geophysics principals which are seismic and
resistivity during water flooding monitoring.
