where i0 is the porosity at depth z0 , i and kc are depth trend
parameters and the cementation starts at zc , i {Sand, Shale}.
The porosity depth trends for sand and shale are illustrated in
Figure 1, where only sand has cementation. We assume that the
depth z and reflection time t can be uniquely associated. All the

CONCLUSION
We assume that seismic AVO data, d, is available. Bayesian inversion is used to determine the posterior model p(, |d). By
using the Hertz-Mindlin model for unconsolidated rocks, and the
Dvorkin-Nur contact cement model for cemented sandstones, together with Gassmanns equations for fluid effects, the connection between the seismic elastic parameters, m, and and is
defined. Hence the rock physics likelihood, p(m|, ), is established. The seismic observations, d, are calculated from the
seismic elastic parameters m by AVO analysis from Buland and
Omre (2003), which defines the seismic likelihood p(d|m). The
stochastic model is summarized in Figure 2. The posterior model
is hence

The the research is part of the Uncertainty in Reservoir Evaluation (URE) activity at the Norwegian University of Science and
Technology (NTNU). The support of P. Avseth and R. Holt was
important for the study.

brine-saturated sandstone, light gray is oil-saturated sandstone
and white is gas-saturated sandstone. Seismic elastic parameters
