Seismic data acquired in the field show the subsurface reflectors or horizon among the geological strata, while the seismic inversion converts this reflector information into the acoustic impedance section which shows the layer properties based on lithology. The research aims to predict the porosity to identify the reservoir which is in between the tight layer. So, the output of the seismic inversion is much more batter than the seismic as it is closer to reality such as geology. Seismic inversion is frequently used to determine rock physics properties, for example, acoustic impedance and porosity.
