The petrophysical parameters of the Ghar Formation are characterized in this study. A combination of pre-stack seismic data gathers and well-log data is used to estimate water saturation and shale volume in the Ghar reservoir. First, the highest possible correlation between the well logs and the seismic inversion data was established for this purpose. After extracting the optimal wavelet, an accurate relationship between the estimated values and the core data was obtained. Next, using data from another well, the validity of the constructed model was examined. The results showed that the combination of three attributes—instantaneous cosine of phase, , and —can accurately estimate the shale volume of the reservoir, with a correlation coefficient of approximately 70%. Although the two layers in the Ghar section have a shale volume of about 10%, the overall shale volume in the reservoir area is negligible. The logarithm of the ratio of compressional wave velocity to shear wave velocity attribute exhibits the highest correlation, approximately 62%. Finally, validation using previously unutilized well-log data demonstrated an accuracy of about 90% in predicting these properties.
