SUMMARY Seismic history matching has been used to reduce uncertainty and increase the accuracy in reservoir characterization. In this paper we propose a joint inversion scheme for quantitative reservoir petrophysics characterization and inside fluid flow imaging, which integrates as many data sources as available, such as timelapse seismic data, production data and sensor information. We demonstrate that this integrated framework leads to accurate seismic history matching and reservoir parameter estimation and that the incorporation of time-lapse seismic data does help speed up the convergence process. In addition, the imaging of the inside fluid flow is also obtained. Considering the unique feature of Bayesian inference in data integration and uncertainty analysis, we also propose a formulation to simultaneously integrate all data sources in a Bayesian framework and solve the problem by stochastically constructing the posterior probability distribution (PPD) using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. The coefficients of rock fluid physics models are also incorporated. This means that the coefficients are determined stochastically based on data rather from lab measurements or empirical relationships. Based on MCMC samples, uncertainty can be correctly quantified.
