4D sim2seis on Volve

Forward pipeline from a reservoir simulation to synthetic time-lapse seismic:

  1. Eclipse .EGRID / .INIT → cell-wise pressure & saturation
  2. Petro-elastic model (PEM)Vp, Vs, ρV_p,\ V_s,\ \rho
  3. Build the Vp(t)V_p(t) volume per timestep
  4. devito 3D acoustic forward modeling → shot gathers
  5. Difference vintages → synthetic 4D response

The acoustic wave equation devito integrates:

1Vp22ut22u=s(t)\frac{1}{V_p^2}\,\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial t^2} - \nabla^2 u = s(t)
