Value of Information Analysis for Time-lapse Seismic Data in Reservoir Development Time-lapse seismic data is often acquired to aid in making reservoir development decisions like well placement decisions or well control decisions, but does the data generate enough additional revenue to justify its cost? This question can be answered by evaluating the decision-analytic metric of value of information (VOI) for time-lapse ...
