Abstract

A multivariate analysis may be used to correlate seismic attributes for a subterranean formation with petrophysical properties of the subterranean formation and/or microseismic data associated with treating, creating, and/or extending a fracture network of the subterranean formation. For example, a method may involve modeling petrophysical properties of a subterranean formation, microseismic data associated with treating a complex fracture network in the subterranean formation, or a combination thereof with a mathematical model based on measured data, microseismic data, completion and treatment data, or a combination thereof to produce a petrophysical property map, a microseismic data map, or a combination thereof; and correlating a seismic attribute map with the petrophysical property map, the microseismic data map, or the combination thereof using the mathematical model to produce at least one quantified correlation, wherein the seismic attribute map is a seismic attributed modeled for the complex fracture network.
