Abstract
To determine characteristics of a subterranean body, pressure testing is performed, where the pressure testing involves drawing down pressure in the well. Pressure data in the well is measured during the pressure testing, and a seismic surface operation is performed. Seismic data is measured as part of the seismic survey operation. The pressure data and the seismic data are provided to a processing system for processing to determine characteristics of the subterranean body.
