A method to convert seismic traces to petrophysical properties is
disclosed. One embodiment of the method comprises (a) deriving a combined
log seismic response from at least one petrophysical log from a well and
at least one seismic trace substantially near the well, (b) convolving
the combined log seismic response filter with each seismic trace to
convert the seismic traces to logs of petrophysical properties, (c)
outputting the petrophysical properties. Equations to derive the combined
log seismic response and to convolve the combined seismic response filter
are disclosed. The method may be used to output the petrophysical data as
a two-dimensional cross-section or as a three-dimensional volume cube.
