Abstract
The present study is a trial to predict of porosity from seismic data in the Al-Amal field, Gulf of Suez, Egypt. This is carried out through the inversion of seismic traces, which allows estimation of reservoir porosity from the analysis of transit times derived from pseudo-velocity logs. A four-step computational procedure is illustrated starting with the inversion of seismic traces and calculation of interval velocities; accurate stratigraphic interpretation; determination of the petrophysical parameters for the porosity evaluation; and analysis of the reliability of the results and final corrections.Keywords
