The modeling of seismic data to predict the lithology and porosity of subsurface rocks using seismic reflected data (1) using steps for inverting the seismic data to yield the elastic properties including the compressional impedances and the shear impedances (3). The rock physics model is build to relate the porosity and the shale volume fraction and the fluid content of the rock and the elastic properties of the rock. Wherein the model is run backward in a second inversion process to solve for the porosity and lithological properties to include the shale volume fraction (2).

L'invention concerne un procédé de prévision des caractéristiques pétrographiques et de la porosité de roches de subsurface à partir de données de réflexion sismique. Les données sismiques sont inversées pour obtenir les propriétés élastiques des roches, par exemple les impédances de compression et de cisaillement. Un modèle physique de roche est généré afin de définir la porosité, la fraction volumique du schiste, le contenu fluidique de la roche, et les propriétés élastiques de la roche. Le modèle est inversé dans un second processus d'inversion afin de déterminer les propriétés de porosité et pétrographiques telles que la fraction volumique du schiste.
