A method for characterizing a property of a subterranean formation including collecting well log and seismic data, inverting the data, processing for upscaled petrophysical parameters, constructing a flow model that generates saturation, pressure and temperature, constructing seismic velocity relationships from the results of the flow model, and constructing a seismic model. Some embodiments may form a full waveform model or a ray tracing model. Some embodiments may generate a velocity profile and/or waveforms using the profile. Some embodiments may use the parameters to form a reservoir model or to recover hydrocarbons from the formations. Some embodiments build a reservoir model of COinjection or COpresence after injection or for simulating COpresence in a subterranean formation. Some embodiments may also quantify COproperties in the reservoir or predict COprofile evolution over time in the reservoir including spatial distribution. Some embodiments may also predict COprofile evolution over time in a reservoir and risk assessment, estimate storage capacity of the reservoir, or select a storage site. Some additional embodiments may also predict fluid front arrival, fluid front monitoring, fluid movement monitoring, or injectivity. Some additional embodiments may generate saturation profiles or a pressure.
