Geostatistical Methods for Reservoir Geophysics

Leonardo Azevedo is Professor at the Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisboa, Portugal. He received his Ph.D. in Georesources in 2013 in the same university where he developed geostatistical tools for inverting seismic reflection data. During this period, he had three short-term contracts with the industry after which he joined CGG’s Geosolutions team in Crawley (UK).  He returned to Técnico in 2015 where he teaches and develop research related with geophysical inversion, reservoir modeling and characterization, rock physics modeling and data integration.Amilcar Soares is Full Professor at the Instituto Superior Técnico (University of Lisbon) in Portugal and Visiting Professor at some other schools at UAE and Brasil. He is coordinator of the group for Modelling Petroleum Reservoirs, from CERENA (Research Center) at IST. He is the coordinator of the Petroleum Engineering PhD and Master programs of IST. His most recent R&D work is focused on geostatistical methods applied to seismic characterization of oil reservoirs, reservoir engineering and geomechanical modelling of oil reservoirs.
