ABSTRACT:
A method for mapping a property of a subsurface reservoir includes determining a value of at least one reservoir property from measurements obtained from a well drilled through the reservoir. A relationship is determined between the at least one property of the reservoir and at least one seismic attribute and at least one electromagnetic survey attribute at a geodetic position of the well. A value of the at least one reservoir property is determined at at least one other geodetic position from a value of the at least one seismic attribute, a value of the at least one electromagnetic survey attribute at the at least one other geodetic position, and from the determined relationship.
