Abstract
Techniques for generating a geological model from 3D seismic data and rock property data are disclosed. Rock property data and 3D seismic data are received. Based on the rock property data and the 3D seismic data, an adaptive geological model is generated. The adaptive geological model includes a characteristic geological property. Synthetic seismic data is generated from a first region of interest of the adaptive geological model. The synthetic seismic data is adapted to facilitate a comparison between the first region of interest and a corresponding region of interest of the received 3D seismic data. The characteristic geological property is adjusted until the comparison indicates a result that is within a predetermined threshold region of the corresponding value from the rock properties. A validated geologic model is then generated.
