Increasing Geological Accuracy in Reservoir Models through Process-Oriented Modeling

An important task in constructing digital reservoir models is the capture of geological detail with sufficient resolution to reduce the uncertainty inherent in interpolation between discrete data points. Even the most sophisticated mathematical or statistical reservoir modeling algorithm, however; remains ignorant of the processes by which reservoir strata are deposited....

Combining Seismic Imaging with Geologic Process-Guided Modelling

Improve Channel Reservoir Characterization By Combining Seismic Imaging with Geologic Process Accurate identification and portrayal of a channel system is rarely easy. Exploiting it is even harder. The depositional processes and crosscutting relationships do not leave behind simple linear features with welldefined boundaries. Conventional examination of poststack seismic reflections leaves...

3D geologic modelling of channelized reservoirs: applications in seismic attribute facies classification

Geological models are usually used qualitatively in seismic interpretation. This paper illustrates that quantitative representations of detailed geological models can significantly enhance seismic attribute interpretation through facies classification. When applying seismic attribute classification to reservoir facies mapping, one often faces such typical questions as: Which attributes should be used as...
