报告摘要：

Numerical simulation is becoming more widely used to investigate a range of basic and applied problems. As simulation algorithms become better and faster, simulation is also increasingly used to develop extensive benchmark datasets for testing data processing algorithms that are used to infer model parameters from laboratory and field data. I will discuss a project that was recently undertaken to develop a model and simulation data that can be used to test methods that can predict pore pressure in rock pores at depth prior to drilling. Such predictions are essential to develop a safe and economical drilling plan. The steps used to develop the model included the development of a 3D geological model for the region, the development of a geological history that resulted in the current geological condition, the simulation forward in time of the geological evolution including the deposition of sediments and the changes in the spatial distribution of fluid pore pressure within the rock pores, the application of rock physics to convert the resulting geological model with pore pressures into a geological model, and finally seismic simulation to collect data that can be used to test pore pressure prediction methodologies.

Michael Fehler received his Ph.D. in seismology from MIT in 1979. He is currently a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was Project Manager for two projects of the SEG Advanced Modeling consortium that are focused on geophysical modeling. He was Editor-in-Chief of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America for nine years beginning in 1995 and president of the Seismological Society of America from 2005-2007. He has coauthored a book on seismic wave propagation and scattering that was published in 1998 and a second edition of the book in 2012. His interests include seismic imaging, reservoir characterization, seismic scattering, geothermal energy, and induced seismicity.
