Reservoir Analysis and Modeling
NoDoC cost models, database and assemblies considered following for this section:
• Fluid types
• SCAL data
• Well tests (PTT, TRACER, RFT, PLT)
• Well completions, rates, and pressures
• Fluid contacts, initial saturations
• Effective kv, faults sealing
• Aquifer size and strength
• Forecasts (uncertainty, optimization)
• PVT fluid models for simulation
• Kr, Pc, compaction behavior
• Calibration for geo model / simulation
• Analyze, QC, prep for simulation
• Initial conditions, QC with logs
• Test impact on simulations
• Match dynamic data
• Simulation sensitivities, economics
• Multiple realizations, uncertainty
In the oil and gas industry, reservoir modeling involves the construction of a computer model of a petroleum reservoir, for the purposes of improving estimation of reserves and making decisions regarding the development of the field.
A reservoir model represents the physical space of the reservoir by an array of discrete cells, delineated by a grid which may be regular or irregular. The array of cells is usually three dimensional, although 1D and 2D models are sometimes used. Values for attributes such as porosity, permeability and water saturation are associated with each cell. The value of each attribute is implicitly deemed to apply uniformly throughout the volume of the reservoir represented by the cell.
