Summary Inversion of seismic data to Acoustic Impedance is usually seen as a specialist activity, so despite the publicised benefits, inverted data are only used in a minority of cases. To help overcome this obstacle we aimed to develop a new algorithm which would not necessarily be best in class, but would be quick and easy to use and increase the use of inversion products within BPA. This new technique, ‘Coloured Inversion’, performs significantly better than traditional fast-track routes such as recursive inversion, and benchmarks well against unconstrained sparse-spike inversion. Empirical study has revealed that unconstrained sparsespike inversion can be approximately modeled as a convolutional process, with an operator whose amplitude spectrum maps the mean seismic spectrum to the mean earth AI spectrum, and has a phase of -90 o . In addition, following reflectivity work by Walden & Hosken (1985) we have found that the gross spectral form of AI logs from wells in any given field is reasonably constant. This implies that a single convolutional operator can be used to perform inversion. The approach assumes a zero-phase wavelet but does not need an explicit estimate of the wavelet amplitude spectrum. The zero-phase assumption can be compensated for by phase rotation of the inverted data in comparison with the AI logs.
